Help Needed: Fixing Indexing Error in MATLAB Random Name Generator Code
I am working on developing a name generator tool in MATLAB to produce random names for individuals or animals. I am inspired by the functionality of the website nameswhisperer.com and aim to create a similar tool.
I have written the following MATLAB code to generate random names:
function randomName = generateRandomName()
% Define lists of name components
firstNames = {‘Alex’, ‘Jordan’, ‘Taylor’, ‘Riley’, ‘Morgan’};
lastNames = {‘Smith’, ‘Johnson’, ‘Williams’, ‘Brown’, ‘Jones’};
% Generate random indices
firstNameIndex = randi(length(firstNames));
lastNameIndex = randi(length(lastNames));
% Construct random name
randomName = [firstNames(firstNameIndex) ‘ ‘ lastNames(lastNameIndex)];
end
% Example usage
name = generateRandomName();
disp([‘Generated Name: ‘ name]);
However, I am encountering an issue with the code. Specifically, when I run the script, I receive an error related to the way names are indexed and concatenated.
Could you help identify and correct the mistake in the code?
