The IF - ELSEIF - END Conditional statements
Q1. Write a MATLAB program to evaluate a function f (x, y) for any two user-specified values x and y. The function f (x, y) is defined as follows:
Q2. Suppose that you are writing a program that reads in a numerical grade and assigns a letter grade to it according to the following table:
95 < grade A
86 < grade ≤ 95 B
76 < grade ≤ 85 C
66 < grade ≤ 76 D
0 < grade ≤ 66 FWrite an IF construct that will assign the grades as previously described using multiple elseif clauses.
The WHILE loop
Q3. Write a program to compute the sum of the series 12 + 22 + 32 + ··· such that the sum is as large as possible without exceeding 1000. The program should display the sum and how many terms are used in the sum.
First, please don’t use the inbuilt function SUM. Then, after getting the number of terms, please solve this problem using vectorisation.
Q4. The nth Fibonacci number is defined by the following recursive equations f (1) = 1 f (2) = 2 f (n) = f (n − 1) + f (n − 2)
Therefore, f (3) = f (2) + f (1) = 2 + 1 = 3, and so forth for higher numbers.
Write an M-file to calculate and write out the nth Fibonacci number for n > 2, where n is input by the user.

Q5. Let the user enter an integer n greater than one, and then compute the sum of the first n terms of the harmonic series. Please provide two solutions, one uses looping and the other uses vectorisation. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 + 2+3+4+5+6+7+⋯
Q6. Find the sum of the first 10 terms of the geometric series. Please provide two solutions, one uses looping and the other uses vectorisation. 1 1 1 1 1 1 + 2+42+6+8+10+⋯
Q7. Find the sum by first creating two vectors for the numerators and denominators.
