How do you write a function that adds all odd numbers between 2 even numbers?

For my homework i have to make a function of codes that add odd number between 2 even numbers but i have been struggling. For example Even Numbers = {2, 10}

So the odd numbers to be added would be; 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 24

and it's due tomorrrow. So help would be much appericated.

Answer 1

[Bruno Luong]

a = 2;
b = 10;
assert(mod(a,2)==0 && mod(b,2)==0 && a<=b, 'incorrect a or b') 
s = (b^2-a^2)/4

s = 24

Or, instead of assert(),

validateattributes([a;b],'numeric',["even","nondecreasing"])

Answer 2

As a hint, it is very easy to create a vector of consecutive odd numbers, e.g.,

x=(5:2:11)

x = 1×4

5 7 9 11

... and it's easy to sum them with the "sum" command.
