Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 5RQ
Assume a variable R contains a single number. Write a short piece of MATLAB code that will:
- Generate the message: The The square root of xxxx is yyyy, if R is nonnegalive.
- If R is negative, the code should generate the message: R is negative. The square root of xxxx is YYYYi.
The value of R should be substituted for XXXX, and the value of the square root of the magnitude of R should be substituted for YYYY. Both numbers should be displayed with three decimal places.
