How can I make a code to display the person's name corresponding to the number from a dice? I have to use a switch statement.

Number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |

Name | Jane | Johannes | Jill | Joyce | Jim | Jace |

this is the list

Answer 1

The best option is to use a table as shown below:

Number = (1:6)' ;
Name = { 'Jane' 'Johannes'  'Jill' 'Joyce'   'Jim' 'Jace'}';
T = table(Number,Name)

T = 6×2 table
    Number        Name    
    ______    ____________

      1       {'Jane'    }
      2       {'Johannes'}
      3       {'Jill'    }
      4       {'Joyce'   }
      5       {'Jim'     }
      6       {'Jace'    }

If you insist to use switch

Number = 1 ;
switch Number 
    case 1
        Name = 'Jane' ;
    case 2
        Name = 'Johannes' ;
    case 3
        Name = 'Jill' ;
    case 4
        Name = 'Joyce' ;
    case 5
        Name = 'Jim' ;
    case 6
        Name = 'Jace' ;
    otherwise
        error('Numner should be 1 to 6')       
end
Name

Name = 'Jane'

Names = { 'Jane' 'Johannes'  'Jill' 'Joyce'   'Jim' 'Jace'}';

die_roll = randi(length(Names));

Name = Names{die_roll}

Name = 'Joyce'
