write a while loop for yahtzee in matlab

Here is an example while loop for a basic Yahtzee game in Matlab:

main.m
% Initialize six-sided dice
dice = [1 2 3 4 5 6];

% Start game loop
gameOver = false;
while ~gameOver
    % Roll the dice
    hand = randi([1 6], 1, 5);
    
    % Display the hand
    disp('Your hand:');
    disp(hand);
    
    % Allow the player to reroll the dice up to 2 times
    rerolls = 2;
    while rerolls > 0
        prompt = 'Which dice would you like to reroll? (Enter indices as a vector, or type "none"): ';
        rerollInput = input(prompt, 's');
        if strcmpi(rerollInput, 'none')
            break;
        else
            rerolls = rerolls - 1;
            rerollIndices = str2num(rerollInput); %#ok<ST2NM>
            hand(rerollIndices) = dice(randi([1 6], 1, length(rerollIndices)));
            disp('Your updated hand:');
            disp(hand);
        end
    end
    
    % Calculate the score
    score = sum(hand);
    disp(['Your score for this round is ' num2str(score)]);
    
    % Check if the game is over
    prompt = 'Would you like to play again? (y/n): ';
    playAgain = input(prompt, 's');
    if strcmpi(playAgain, 'n')
        gameOver = true;
    end
end

In this example, the while loop will continue until the player chooses to end the game by entering 'n' when prompted. The loop includes logic for rolling the dice, allowing the player to reroll up to 2 times, calculating the score, and repeating the game as desired.
