% my solution - print out y value to compare against y_correct
y = x / 2.205;
disp(['y = ' num2str(y)])
disp(y)
% Test 2 and 3 Fail....
x = 50;
y_correct = 22.6757;
assert(isequal(convert_stuff(x),y_correct)) % Assertion failed.
Output:
y = 22.6757 % NOT SURE WHY THIS FAILS????
22.6757
%% Does not look like a precision issue
