if-else function statement problem

Hello everone,

I'm trying to write a function by using the if-else function. The function searches whether the entered days are working days or not. When it comes to the first if statement in the function, it gives an error if it is not equal to it. If it is equal to the first statement, it does not give an error. What is the reason of this?

For example, when we input the following function as 'monday', it does not give an error, but when we enter the input as 'saturday', it gives an error like this. "Error in abc(line 2) if method == 'standard sampler' " How can i fix it?

function abc(day)
if day=='monday'
    disp('1');
elseif day== 'saturday'
    disp('2');
else 
    disp('bla bla');
end
end

function abc(day)
if day=='monday' % Do a comparison 
  disp('1');
elseif day=='saturday' % Do a comparison 
  disp('2');
else 
  disp('bla bla');
end
end

yes, you are right. i forgot some comma and equal sign in the question but my matlab code is the same as yours but same problem occurs.

function abc(day)
if strcmp(day,'monday') % Do a comparison 
  disp('1');
elseif strcmp(day,'saturday') % Do a comparison 
  disp('2');
else 
  disp('bla bla');
end
end

"but my matlab code is the same as yours but same problem occurs" can you share the problem/error from command window everything in red text, btw, you can try also above approach
