Hi, I got an error saying that my code below for the Hit, Miss, Total Miss, and Bullseye is currently a string and needs to be "of data type char" and I was wondering if someone could help
function[zone,Points]=RQ18_18(X,Y)
distance=sqrt(X^2 + Y^2);
Bluedistance=3;
Greendistance=2;
Reddistance=1;
if( distance<=Reddistance)
Points=4;
zone="Bullseye";
elseif(distance>Reddistance && distance<=Greendistance)
Points=2;
zone="Close";
elseif(distance>Greendistance &&distance<=Bluedistance)
Points=1;
zone="Hit";
elseif((X>=4 && X<=-4) && (Y>=-4 && Y<=-4))
Points=0;
zone="Miss";
else
Points=-1;
zone="Total Miss";
end
end

Just a stylistic comment -- it helps ALOT to indent code constructs in being able to read and debug code...sure, the machine doesn't care, but it doesn't do the hard work of writing the code.

What you can do is to convert the string to char using char() function.
for example:
Bullseye = char(Bullseye );
let me know if this works or not.
