This is a MATLAB problem
Task 5 (25 points) Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring. To compute the date, you can use this algorithm, invented by the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1800: 1. Let y be the year (such as 1800 or 2001). 2. Divide y by 19 and call the remainder a. Ignore the quotient. 3. Divide y by 100 to get a quotient b and a remainder c 4. Divide b by 4 to get a quotient d and a remainder e 5. Divide 8* b 13 by 25 to get a quotient g. Ignore the remainder. 6. Divide 19*a+b-d-g+15 by 30 to get a remainder h. Ignore the quotient. 7. Divide c by 4 to get a quotient j and a remainder k. 8. Divide a11 * h by 319 to get a quotient m. Ignore the remainder. 9. Divide 2* e+2*j-k-h +m+32 by 7 to get a remainder r. Ignore the quotient. 10. Divide h-m+r+90 by 25 to get a quotient n. Ignore the remainder. 11. Divide h-m+r+n + 19 by 32 to get a remainder p. Ignore the quotient. Then Easter falls on day p of month n. For example, if the value of y is 2001, then: a 6, b h-18, j 0, k-1,m-0,r-6,n:4' and p-15. 20, c 1,d -5, e 0, g 6, Therefore, in 2001, Easter Sunday fell on April 15 Write a script easterSunday.m (without using any MATLAB toolboxes) that prompts the user for a year and prints out the year, month, and day of Easter Sunday. Here's an example of a possible sample run: >> easterSunday Please enter the year: 2001 In 2001, Easter Sunday fell on 4/15
