I have been trying to write a script comparing two bids in matlab but I have been having problems starting the script based on the flowing question.

Write a script that will compare 2 bids for a construction project. It will do the following. a) Ask the hours of work and cost per hour of the first bidder. b) Ask the hours of work and cost per hour of the second bidder. c) Calculate the hours times hourly rate for the first and second bidder. d) Determine the winner of the bid based on either the total cost or the numbers worked.

example:

SAMPLE OUTPUT 1 Bidder 1 Enter hours: 5 Enter hourly rate: 10 Bidder 2 Enter hours: 5 Enter hourly rate: 10 Winner - Tie. Total cost - $50.00 Total time - 5hrs. SAMPLE OUTPUT 2 Bidder 1 Enter hours: 5 Enter hourly rate: 10 Bidder 2 Enter hours: 5 Enter hourly rate: 20 Winner - Bidder 1. Total cost - $50.00 Total time - 5hrs.

SAMPLE OUTPUT 3 Bidder 1 Enter hours: 10 Enter hourly rate: 5 Bidder 2 Enter hours: 5 Enter hourly rate: 10 Winner - Bidder 2. Total cost - $50.00. Total time - 5hrs.
