I'm currently working on a homework problem in simulating a vehicle monitoring system. The problem is with my loop to start the problem when I want to end the program all the user should do is press two and the program will break to the very end. However this does not happen, however everything else in the program works. Thanks!
% VehicleMonitoring.m
% this program monitors several vehicle measurements
% the program then displays the values of those measurements
% back to the user and finally plots graphs of the measurements
