Hi,

Please find the matlab script below:
-------------------------------------

Sample Matlab Script:

% Prompt the user for current day of the week
Weekdays={'Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun'};
CurrentDay = menu('Select Current Day','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun');
% Prompt the user for favorite day of the week
FavoriteDay = menu('Select Favirite Day','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun');
fprintf('The Current Day is = %s\n',weekdays{CurrentDay});
fprintf('My Favorite Day is = %s\n',weekdays{FavoriteDay});
% Straight forward case
if CurrentDay < FavoriteDay
    fprintf('Number of days until the favorite day is = %d days \n',FavoriteDay -CurrentDay);
else
    %Round trip of the week
    DayRemaining= 7-CurrentDay;
    fprintf('Number of days until the favorite day = %d days \n',DayRemaining + FavoriteDay);
end

Screenshot:

Run the program and verify the output.

Script Output:
>> NumberOfWeekDays
The Current Day is = Mon
My Favorite Day is = Sun
Number of days until the favorite day is = 6 days
>> NumberOfWeekDays
The Current Day is = Sat
My Favorite Day is = Tue
Number of days until the favorite day = 3 days
