Error with Loop Martix formation

I have been trying to alter this code so that if it is a bumpy road 4s or 10s it will form 1x201 martix beginning at t=0 and ends at t=T and them solve the y_R equation

T= both 10s bumpy road and 4s single bump

L= 6;

g=9.81;

V=35;

y_0=10;

w_R=(2.*pi.*V)/L;

yfail=0;

for y=1:3

Road=input('Enter the simulation type as a number (1=bumpy road, 2=single bump)');

if Road==1

fprintf('10s bumpy road\n')

Y_R=y_0.*.5.*sind(w_R.*t);

elseif Road==2

fprintf('4s single bump\n')

Y_R=y_0.*-1;

else

fprintf('Simulation type is not recognized. The program stops.Rerun the program again.\n')

yfail=yfail+1;

end

end

Hey Cameron,

If you wish to generate "1x201" data, by varying the value of t, from t=0 to t=T. I would suggest you to use linespace function.

T= 10;%both 10s bumpy road and 4s single bump

L= 6;

g=9.81;

V=35;

y_0=10;

w_R=(2.*pi.*V)/L;

yfail=0;

for y=1:3

Road=input('Enter the simulation type as a number (1=bumpy road, 2=single bump)');

if Road==1

fprintf('10s bumpy road\n')

t=linspace(0,T,201); %depeding upon the value of T you can solve Y_R for different values of "t".

Y_R=y_0.*.5.*sind(w_R.*t);

elseif Road==2

fprintf('4s single bump\n')

Y_R=y_0.*-1;

else

fprintf('Simulation type is not recognized. The program stops.Rerun the program again.\n')

yfail=yfail+1;

end

end

Hope this helps.
