## I. Example of Grading calculation

:::warning
You have 8 homeworks in total, we take the highest 5 to decide your overall score, which account for 80% of your score. The remaining 20% are Math quiz.

Here is your grade based on your overall score.
Now we write a code to output one's grade.
:::

### 1. Example Scores
Loci did very well on his homework with the following scores:

| | HW1 | HW2 | HW3 | HW4 | HW5 | HW6 | HW7 | HW8 | MQ1 | MQ2 |
|-----------|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
| Score | 90 | 85 | 92 | 88 | 95 | 75 | 80 | 70 | 80 | 70 |

$$
loci\_overScore = \frac {95 + 92 + 90 + 88 + 85}{5}*0.8 + \frac {80+70}{2}*0.2 = 87 \rightarrow A
$$

Chris, on the opposite, didn't perform that well with the following scores:

| | HW1 | HW2 | HW3 | HW4 | HW5 | HW6 | HW7 | HW8 | MQ1 | MQ2 |
|-----------|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
| Score | 60 | 65 | 58 | 55 | 70 | 72 | 67 | 66 | 75 | 80 |

$$
chris\_overScore = \frac {72 + 70 + 67 + 66 + 65}{5}*0.8 + \frac {75 + 80}{2}*0.2 = 69.4 \rightarrow C+
$$

### 2. Pseudocode for Grade Calculation

START
    INPUT scores  // list of 8 homework scores
    INPUT quizScores  // list of 2 math quiz scores

    // Sort homework scores in descending order
    SORT(scores)

    // 80% of scores and 20% of quizScores
    overallScore = mean(scores)*0.8 + mean(quizScores)*0.2

    // Output final grade based on overallScore
    IF overallScore >= 90
        DISPLAY "Grade: A+"
    ELSEIF overallScore >= 85
        DISPLAY "Grade: A"
    ELSEIF overallScore >= 80
        DISPLAY "Grade: A-"
    ...
    ELSE
        DISPLAY "Grade: X"
    END
END

#### a. If-else Statements

% Start
loci_scores = [90, 85, 92, 88, 95, 75, 80, 70];
loci_quizScores = [80, 70];

chris_Scores = [60, 65, 58, 55, 70, 72, 67, 66];

% Sort homework scores in descending order
sortedScores = sort(loci_scores, 'descend');

% Take the highest 5 scores
highestScores = sortedScores(1:5);

## II. Check any mismatch between two nucleotide sequences

% Define nucleotide sequences using numbers
seq1 = ['A', 'C', 'G', 'T', 'A', 'C'];  % ACGTAC
seq2 = ['A', 'C', 'G', 'A', 'A', 'T'];  % ACGAAT

% Check if the sequences are of the same length
if length(seq1) ~= length(seq2)
    disp('Error: Sequences must be of the same length.');
else
    % Calculate mismatches
    % What is the result of the mismatch?
    mismatches = (seq1 ~= seq2);  % Logical array (1 for mismatch, 0 for match)

    % Check if there are any mismatches 
    if sum(mismatches) > 0  
        numMismatches = sum(mismatches);  % Count the total mismatches
        disp('Nucleotide Mismatches (1=Mismatch, 0=Match):');
        disp(mismatches);
        fprintf('Total number of mismatches: %d\n', numMismatches);
    else  
        disp('The sequences are identical.');
    end

## Homework

:::warning
The solutions of quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ are
$$
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
$$

Depending on the value of the discriminant $\Delta = b^2 - 4ac$ :
- If $\Delta > 0$ , there are two distinct real roots.
- If $\Delta = 0$ , there is one real root (a repeated root).
- If $\Delta < 0$ , there are two complex roots.
:::

### 1. Example
Let’s solve the quadratic equation $2x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0$.

$$
\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-4)^2 - 4*2*1 = 16 - 8 = 8
$$

The solutions are: $x_1 = 1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad x_2 = 1 - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

### 2. Pseudocode of Quadratic Equation

START
    INPUT a
    INPUT b
    INPUT c

    IF a = 0
        DISPLAY "This is not quadratic function"
    ELSE
        Δ = b^2 - 4ac
        
        IF Δ > 0
            x1 = (-b + sqrt(Δ)) / (2a)
            x2 = (-b - sqrt(Δ)) / (2a)
            DISPLAY x1, x2
        
        ELSEIF Δ = 0
            x = -b / (2a)
            DISPLAY x
            
        ELSE
            DISPLAY "No real solution"
        END
    END
END

### 3. MATLAB scripts for Quadratic Equation

% Input coefficients
a = input('Enter coefficient a: ');
b = input('Enter coefficient b: ');
c = input('Enter coefficient c: ');

% Check if the equation is quadratic
if a == 0
    disp('This is not a quadratic function.');
else
    Delta = b^2 - 4*a*c;
    
    if Delta > 0
        x1 = (-b + sqrt(Delta)) / (2*a);
        x2 = (-b - sqrt(Delta)) / (2*a);
        disp(x1, x2);
        
    elseif Delta == 0
        x = -b / (2*a);
        disp(x);
        
    else
        disp('No real solution')
    end

### Take-Home exercise
Given the temperature (in Celsius) per day, can you tell me whether the weather on that day is hot, warm, or cold. Use `if-else` statement to do this.

**Cold**: Temperature below 15°C
