Question

NEED answer ASAP!! and Please use a lot of comments!!!

The purpose of the problem is to verify the binomial formula given by (n k) = 2n. Write a Mat lab program that asks the user to enter a positive integer N (not more than 20) from the keyboard. Then compute the quantity S1 = 2N and store it in the variable S1. Also compute the binomial sum S2 = (N k) and store it in the variable S2. Note that you may use the Matlab function nchoosek to compute the binomial coefficient (N k) = N!/k!(N - k)!. Your program should display the values of N, S1 and S2. Now compare S1 and S2, if they are equal, print "good news, they are equal"; otherwise, print "bad news, they are not equal".

Explanation / Answer

%Clearing all variables from memory and then clearing the terminal
clear all
clc

%Value of N is inputted here
N = input('Enter a positive integer less than 20:');

%The variable integerTest stores a value 1 if N is an integer, else it is
%zero.
integerTest=~mod(N,1);

%Test if N > 20 or N < 1 or N is not an integer
if( (N>20) || (N < 1) || (integerTest == 0) )
    disp('Incorrect Value of N, Restart From Beginning');
else
    %If N > 20 and is an integer, evaluate the following
    %Variable S1 stores the value 2^N.
    S1 = 2^N;
  
    %Initialize variable S2.
    S2 = 0.0;
    %Run a loop from k = 0 to N to sum up the combinatorical value
    for(k=0:N)
        S2 = S2 + nchoosek(N,k);
    end

    %If S1 and S2 are matching evaluate the following loop
    if(S1 == S2)
        disp('Good News, they are equal');
        dispval = ['N = ',num2str(N),' S1 = ',num2str(S1),' S2 = ',num2str(S2)];
        disp(dispval);
    else
        %If S1 and S2 do not match, evaluate the following loop
        disp('Bad News, they are not equal');
        dispval = ['N = ',num2str(N),' S1 = ',num2str(S1),' S2 = ',num2str(S2)];
        disp(dispval);
    end
end
