Hello, so far I can't get this to respond correctly

Clc;
Clear all;
r1=randperm(2,1);
r2=randperm(2,1);
a=sort(r1);
b=sort(r2);
x=[a,b]
q=[2,1]
If x~=q
 Disp(X).  %cannot get it to correctly display the numbers of the variable every time it doesn't equal q
Else
  Disp('x is equal to q')
End

[John BG]

why do you sort a scalar anyway?

r1 and r2 are coin tosses, they are either 'head' or 'tail'

and instead of

r1=randperm(2,1);
r2=randperm(2,1);

why not just

x=randperm(2,2);

Using two separate randperm is selection with replacement. Using one randperm would be selection without replacement.

For selection with replacement you could use randi()

Don't use uppercase for Matlab function, It's not Clc but clc and not If but if

clc;
clear
r1=randperm(2,1);
r2=randperm(2,1);
A=sort(r1);
B=sort(r2);
X=[A,B]
q=[2,1]
if X~=q
disp(X)  %cannot get it to correctly display the numbers of the variable every time it doesn't equal q
else
Disp('x is equal to q')
end

Brandon commented

I don't use uppercase I'm on my phone it capitalized auto didn't correct them all before I submitted the question

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

Ok, what is the problem with your code?

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

Use ~isequal instead of ~=

if ~isequal(X,q)
  disp(X)  %cannot get it to correctly display the numbers of the variable every time it doesn't equal q
else
  disp('x is equal to q')
end

[Brandon Overman]

That seems closer but when x= [2,1] it still displays x when I want it to display x is equal to q

[Brandon Overman]

If I could get it to just not give an output when x=q that would be ideal, I want the outputs as long as they are not q

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

This is not true, check this

clc
X=[2,1];
q=[2,1];
if X~=q
 disp(X)  %cannot get it to correctly display the numbers of the variable every time it doesn't equal q
else
  disp('x is equal to q')
end

[Brandon Overman]

Yes I see that it works but type what I have currently and it will not work, it will after a few times ran display an x= 2,1

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

I didn't post the right code, this works any time

clc;
clear
r1=randperm(2,1);
r2=randperm(2,1);
A=sort(r1);
B=sort(r2);
X=[A,B];
q=[2,1];
if ~isequal(X,q)
  disp(X)  %cannot get it to correctly display the numbers of the variable every time it doesn't equal q
else
  disp('x is equal to q')
end

[Brandon Overman]

Still fails, I have what you say always works now every time it says x is equal to q when that is not true if r2 is equal to 2 than x would be 2,2 so not equal to q

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

clc;
r1=randperm(2,1)
r2=randperm(2,1)
X=[r1,r2];
q=[2,1];
if ~isequal(X,q)
disp(X)  %cannot get it to correctly display the numbers of the variable every time it doesn't equal q
else
disp('x is equal to q')
end
