Hi ;
I am going to make a function called letter_counter that takes the name of a text file as input and returns the number of letters (i.e., any of the characters, a-to-z and A-to-Z) that the file contains. i have given that hint: You can use the built-in function isletter. If there is a problem opening the file, the function returns -1.
I am going that code but do not know what i am doing
function m=letter_counter(file)
fid=fopen(file,'rt')
m = char(fread(fid,inf));
fclose
if fid~=fopen(file,'rt')
m=-1;
end
end
I am getting that error
Feedback: Your program made an error for argument(s) 'letter_counter.m'
Your solution is _not_ correct.
I do not know what i have made. Please assist about the correct one. Thanks in advance for assistance...

You would read the help documentation for isletter() and check out the various routines mentioned in 'See Also'

Your m is just all the bytes read. It's not taking into account that there are other characters like punctuation marks that they do not want counted. I don't see where you're checking if the character is in the range a-z or A-Z. Where are you doing anything like
letters = (m >= 'a' & m <= 'z') | (m >= 'A' & m <= 'Z');
That's why it's not giving the correct answer. Now do you know what letters above is? Do you know what you would do with that to count the valid letters?

There is no line like this:
m = char(fread(fid,inf));
like you had before. Why did you remove that line?
