This question is letter to letter copy of Cody Question #44947

You need to attempt to solve the problem first, state what problem/error you are facing and ask questions/help accordingly. No one here is going to solve Cody questions for you.

Undefined function 'max_age' for input arguments of type 'double'. Error in find_max_age (line 2) old_name = max_age(double_age),disp(name); Error in Test1 (line 6) assert(isequal(find_max_age(name,Age),maxAge_correct)) ..

Since I am new to solving matlab questions, I am getting such errors after writing the code

[Dyuman Joshi]

Show us your whole code.

[Devleena Sahoo]

function old_name = find_max_age(name,age)

old_name = max_age(age)

disp(name)

end

1 - There is no function as max_age.

2 - Age is an array of numbers. You have to find the maximum age and return the corresponding name. Suppose, the 3rd element in the age array is the largest, so it is asking you to submit the 3rd element from the name array.

3 - The question is not asking you to display the name. It is asking you to return the name (character arraystring)

Answer 1

[Maharnab]

function old_name = find_max_age(name,age)

old_name=name(find(age==max(age)));

end

Answer 2

[Aniruddh Maini]

Hi Devleena, following function can be used to find the name of oldest person.

function oldest_name = findOldest(name,age)
    len = length(name);
    Max_age = -1;
    Max_index = -1;
    for i = 1:len
        if(age(1,i)>Max_age)
            Max_age = age(1,i);
            Max_index = i;
        end
    end
    oldest_name = name(1,Max_index);
end

Hope it helps !

nice

[Iman]

close all;

clear all;

clc;

function oldest_name = findOldest(name,age)

len = length(name);

Max_age = -1;

Max_index = -1;

for i = 1:len

if(age(1,i)>Max_age)

Max_age = age(1,i);

Max_index = i;

end

end

oldest_name = name(1,Max_index);

end

I don't know if it is correct or wrong. But when I run the program error occur. Please guide me that how to do this question.

2 inputs will be taken

i.what is your name?

ii.what is your age?

Display name and age in matlab.

According to what i understood, the name of maximum aged person is asked to find. so, the code can be like this

old_name = name(find(age==max(age)))
