Even vs Odd Vector

write a function that outputs a vector of only the odd indices of the input vector if that input's length is odd. if the input's length is even, then output a vector of its even indices. So if you input os [1 2 3 4 5 6], then your output should be [2 4 6]; if your input i s[1 2 3 4 5 6] then you should output [1 3 5].

Is that just pasted straight from homework? People don't usually start a question looking for Matlab help with "write a function..."
What have you tried so far to solve this? It is a very simple problem that someone (including myself) could easily give you the answer to, but do you honestly not have any input yourself as to how you would go about doing this?

Done, now what? All joking aside what have you tried? A hint to start would look at the function mod(). Also i think your last odd length example is wrong.

Honestly I don't even know how to start the problem.

Start by looking at how to create functions then indexing arrays and my suggested mod() function.
