Program in matlab to check if the letter is vowel

Problem

Write a program in matlab to check if the given letter is vowel or not. Use the function name as isvowel.

Solution

In this function we will use the switch statement to accomplish the task. This program is only basic, and you can understand it easily. First read the program and then, read the explanation, if you still don't understand then please click the links below to check out each function and syntax in matlab. If you still don't understand then contact me.
1) Matlab functions
2) char function in matlab/ Char(Matlab functions)
3) switch case in matlab

Program

function ret = isvowel(s)
%this function will check whether the given letter is vowel or not

%If the user by mistake enters a number then we will change it to character
%using the char function. Or else also this function will not do any
%problem

s = char(s);

switch s
    case 'a'
        ret = true;
    case 'e'
        ret = true;
    case 'i'
        ret = true;
    case 'o'
        ret = true;
    case 'u'
        ret = true;
    otherwise
        ret = false;
end

Explanation

In this function first we will convert the given input to a character so that if the user by mistake enters a number then the char function will change the number to corresponding alphabet. So this will not be a problem

Now in the switch case we will compare the given input with alphabets a,e,i,o,u. If the input will match the alphabet then the function will return true. Otherwise the function will return false.

I have tried to explain in such a way that it will be easy to understand for everyone. If you cannot understand, this then please do let me know, I will make changes, so that it will be beneficial for everyone. You can contact me here: contact me

Understood the program? Then type the program in your matlab session and post your output for a given input in the comment below.

Making a quiz web app with python and flask

Edit : When you are creating a web app with h tml templates, then y ou will have to sa ve the html file in templates folder in the Current Wor ki ng Directory( CWD). If you save the file in the C W D directl y you will get a TemplateNotFound error. Thank you Udhay for pointing it out.   In this post we will create a quiz website using python . I will be using the flask framework . After reading this tutorial you will learn form submission , flask templates , python code in flask templates , shuffling the questions and options with the random module and few others.  Please note that this tutorial is not big as it seems to be. Some of the code has been rewritten to maintain consistency and also font size is somewhat big so that your eyes won't get stressed reading this tutorial. Also the content has not occupied the full width of the page. In this tutorial I am assuming that you are having a very basic understanding of the flask framework . Please refer the documentation

Problem 60 Project Euler Solution with python

Prime pair sets The primes 3, 7, 109, and 673, are quite remarkable. By taking any two primes and concatenating them in any order the result will always be prime. For example, taking 7 and 109, both 7109 and 1097 are prime. The sum of these four primes, 792, represents the lowest sum for a set of four primes with this property. Find the lowest sum for a set of five primes for which any two primes concatenate to produce another prime. This problem is j u st a brute force problem. If you have come here because you don't know the limit upto which you will h ave to gener ate the prime numbers t hen go ahe ad and t r y with 10,000 . When I first start ed solving the problem I chose 1 million(beca use most of the problem s on project E uler have this limit ), but it took very long for the computer to fin d the solution. After searching on the internet then I found many people choosing 10, 000 so I have changed my in put f rom 1 million to 10000 and the output was f ast. He
