Write a MATLAB program to evaluate the function $$ y(x)=\ln \frac{1}{1-x} $$ for any user-specified value of $x$, where In is the natural logarithm (logarithm to the base e). Write the program with a while loop, so that the program repeats the calculation for each legal value of $x$ entered into the program. When an illegal value of $x$ is entered, terminate the program. (Any $x \geq 1$ is considered an illegal value.)

Key Concepts

MATLAB Programming

The core concept here is the use of MATLAB as a programming environment for numerical computation and algorithm development. This includes understanding how to write scripts, handle user input and output, and perform mathematical operations.

While Loop

A while loop is a control flow statement that repeatedly executes a block of code as long as a specified condition is true. In this context, it is used to continually prompt the user to enter a valid value for x and to perform calculations until an illegal value is entered, at which point the execution stops.

Input Validation

Input validation involves checking user inputs to ensure they meet certain criteria before the program proceeds with its computations. Here, it is used to determine whether the entered value of x is valid (i.e., x < 1) and to terminate the program when an invalid value (x ? 1) is detected.

Natural Logarithm

The natural logarithm, denoted as ln, is the logarithm to the base e. It is a mathematical function critical in many areas of science and engineering. In this problem, the computation of ln(1/(1-x)) illustrates function evaluation and the need for proper handling of the domain where x is less than 1.
