Explanation / Answer

% function is not closed using end statement
% include "end" the end of code and then the code should work.

% matlab code

function prize = DiceGame(rolls)

winningRolls = 0;

for i = 1 : length(rolls)

if rolls(i) == 5 || rolls(i) == 6

winningRolls = winningRolls + 1;

end

end

if winningRolls >= 4

prize = 4;

elseif winningRolls > 1

prize = 2;

else

prize = 0;

end

% function is not closed using end in the code provided in screenshot
