Chapter 4, Problem 23E
To determine

To write:

The script for the following switch statement give below first generates a random force value. Then, prints a message regarding what type of wind that force represents, using a switch statement. And rewrite this switch statement as one nested if-else statement that accomplishes exactly the same thing. Use else and/or elseif clauses.

ranforce = randi([0, 12]);

switch ranforce

case 0

disp('There is no wind')

case {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

disp('There is a breeze')

case {7, 8, 9}

disp('This is a gale')

case {10, 11}

disp('It is a storm')

case 12

disp('Hello, Hurricane!')

end

In which, the Beaufort Wind Scale is used to characterize the strength of winds. The scale uses integer values and goes from a force of 0, which is no wind, up to 12, which is a hurricane.
