CAN YOU PLEASE CHECK MY SOLUTION BELOW? IT DOES NOT RUN

function daysTill = birthdayFunction(month, day)

%Take two numbers, month and day, and return the number of days since jan 1

monthLength = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30,31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31];

%Get current date

t = clock;

%Get total days frp, Jan 1st to current date

daysElapsed = 0;

for i = 1:1:t(2)-1

daysElapsed = monthLength(i) + daysElapsed;

end

daysElapsed = daysElapsed + t(3);

%Get total days from Jan 1st to the Bday

daysTillBDay = 0;

for i = 1:1:month-1

daysTillBDay = daysTillBDay + monthLength(i);

end

daysTillBDay = daysTillBDay + day;

%Do subtraction

for j = 1:length(mos)

if strcmp(txt(i,3),mos(j))

month = j;

THE QUESTION IS:

Write a program in MATLAB that processes a series of employees to determine the days until/since a given employees birthday as follows:

To populate the employees' data, read in a comma separated file containing First Name, Last Name, Birthday Month, Birthday Day, and Salary. Use the file uploaded in Loud Cloud as an example.

Build up an array of employee records (i.e., structures) where each record contains the employee's first name, last name, birthday (stored as an integer representing days from January 1st), and salary.

Create a function that takes two numbers (month and day) as input and returns a single number (days since January 1st). This function will be used to "translate" the birthday format from that of the input file to that required for the data structures.

Create an array containing 12 values in which each number represents the days in each month of the year (i.e., 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31).

Subtract 1 from the input month and iterate over the array, adding in the value until you have the days in (month-1) months.

Add to this the number of the birthday day.

Prompt the user to supply an employees first name. Using the result, search through the array of structures to find the requested employee. Display the number of days between the current date and the employees birthday. Note that this will be a negative number if the employees birthday has already passed.

THE TABLE DATA IS:

Donald Trump 6 14 400000
Mickey Mouse 11 18 10000
Ada Lovelace 12 10 5000
Justin Bieber 3 1 125000
Benjamin Franklin 1 17 15000
Angela Merkel 7 17 234400
