%% Problem 9.1
%{
Use a for loop to sum the elements in the following vector:
x = [1, 23, 43, 72, 87, 56, 98, 33]
%}

% vectors given in problems, assign new variable
c9p1 = [1, 23, 43, 72, 87, 56, 98, 33];
sum = 0;

for k = 1:length(c9p1)
    sum = sum + c9p1(k);
end

disp('The sum of c9p1 is: %f', sum);

shy doesn't disp work like this?

never mind I am using fprintf() it's better, less coding.

Yeah, if I remember 'disp' correctly, you can do disp('words') or disp(variable), but i'm not sure it does both at once.  And disp definitely doesn't use %f formatting.  In fact, the 'f' in 'fprint' stands for 'formatted print'.  Glad you got it!
