Write a function that takes a number to be guessed and a player number, and checks if the winning criteria is met.

This is what I have to work with, I've tried some functions already, but they came back as invalid.

i.e.:

  win = Numberguess(gameNum, userGuess)
    if abs gameNum==userGuess
        win=logical 1;
    else
        win=logial 0;

It could be something like this

numberGuess([3,7,12,9,17])

The number to guess was 5. You win!

function numberGuess(input)

if length(input) ~= 5
    error('Input must have five elements')
end

gameNum = randi(20,1,1);

if sum(abs(gameNum-input) <= 3) >=2
    fprintf('The number to guess was %.0f. You win!\n',gameNum)
else
    fprintf('The number to guess was %.0f. Sorry, try again.\n',gameNum)
end

end

trying to find out the nearest minimum and maximum value

userguess=[2 5 10 17 19];
gamenum=13;
y=NumberGuess(gamenum,userguess);

win = 1

%
function win=NumberGuess(gamenum,userguess)
% userguess=[2 5 12 17 19];
% gamenum=3;
[~,~,idx]=unique(round(abs(userguess-gamenum)));
minVal=userguess(idx==1);
maxVal=userguess(idx==2);
if (gamenum-minVal)<=3
    win=1
elseif (maxVal-gamenum)<=3
    win=1
else
    win=0
end
end
