I am knew to matlab and am required to write and test a function that converts numerical month of the year to the name of that month(Assuming 1=January to 12=December). I have to do 3 variations of this, one with "if", one with "else if" and the other with "switch". I would just like to know which function would be suitable to perform this operation.

Hints (probably too much of a hint):
months = {'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', ...
'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'};
monthNumber = 3; % Whatever .. use inputdlg() to ask user.
if monthNumber > 1 && monthNumber < length(months)
theMonth = months{monthNumber}
end
switch monthNumber
case {1,2,3,............. You finish it!
fprintf('You picked month %s\n', months..... You finish it!
otherwise
fprintf('Invalid month number of %d', monthNumber);
end
You're going to have to finish/fix it and add the elseif to the "if" case to alert user to the invalid month. If you want to do it with 11 elseif's and check every number from 1 to 12 individually, you can do that, but it's really completely unnecessary since you can get the month with a simple index into the months array.

Try
fprintf('You picked month %s\n', months{monthNumber});

Another method to return month names given month numbers using datetime and month,
monthNames = month(datetime(1, 1:6, 1), 's')
% month numbers go here ^^^^
% monthNames =
% 1×6 cell array
% {'Jan'} {'Feb'} {'Mar'} {'Apr'} {'May'} {'Jun'}

Nifty trick. However I get them in a different order than you. I get the expected order:
monthNames =
1×6 cell array
{'Jan'} {'Feb'} {'Mar'} {'Apr'} {'May'} {'Jun'}
