Notes 09: Analyzing Stock Market Data with Control Flow

The stock market data first seen in Homework 3 is a trove of information, and it will form the basis for Homework 4 as well. Today we will perform a few data analysis tasks in MATLAB:

• Find the largest single day gain
• Find the largest single day loss
• Find the largest single day percentage gain
• Find the total number of days of gain, loss, and no change
• Compute the average gain and loss per day
