Happy New Year, everyone! We hope you enjoyed the Cody contest in 2020, learned new MATLAB skills, and made a friend or two. While the 2020 contest has concluded, the fun and learning never end.
Please take the 1-minute survey to talk about your experience (only 2 required questions). Our goal is to make future contests better and more appealing to you, so your feedback is critical to us.
Thank you in advance and hope to see you again in the 2021 contest.
We are excited to announce that Cody Contest 2020 starts today! Again, the rule is simple - solve any problem and rate its difficulty. If you have any question, please visit our FAQs page first. Want to know your ranking? Check out the contest leaderboard .
Happy problem-solving! We hope you are a winner.
Below are some FAQs for the Cody contest 2020. If you have any additional questions, ask your questions by replying to this post. We will keep updating the FAQs.
Q1: If I rate a problem I solved before the contest, will I still get a raffle ticket?
A: Yes. You can rate any problem you have solved, whether it was before or during the contest period.
Q2: When will I receive the contest badges that I've earned?
A: All badges will be awarded after the contest ends.
Q3: How do I know if I’m the raffle winner?
A: If you are a winner, we will contact you to get your name and mailing address. You can find the list of winners on the Cody contest page .
Q4: When will I receive my T-shirt or hat?
A: You will typically receive your prize within a few weeks. It might take longer for international shipping.
Q5: I'm new to Cody. If I have some questions about using Cody, how can I get help?
A: You can ask your question by replying this post. Other community users might help you and we will also monitor the threads. You might also find answers here .
Q6: What do I do if I have a question about a specific problem?
A: If the problem description is unclear, the test suite is broken, or similar concerns arise, post your question(s) as a comment on the specific problem page. If you are having a hard time solving a problem, you can post a comment to your solution attempt (after submitting it). However, do not ask other people to solve problems for you.
Q7: If I find a bug or notice someone is cheating/spamming during the contest, how can I report it?
A: Use Web Site Feedback . Select "MATLAB Central" from the category list.
Q8: Why can't I rate a problem?
A: To rate a problem, you must solve that problem first and have at least 50 total points.
Hi there! This is kind of an unusual question, but here it goes. I am a big time Matlab enthusiast and I met some of your representatives at Formula Student Germany back in August. There was a booth were your product was showcased but most importantly there was Matlab merchandise such as stickers, rub-on-tattoos and pens with the mathworks logo being handed out. This merchandise is increadibly popular with me and my nerdy friends. But sadly I didnt bring much with me from the event. Is it possible to get ahold some of it? Is it for sale? Are you willing to sponsor some geeky engineering students?
- matrix1, matrix2, matrix3, matrix4, ...
- test_20kmh, test_50kmh, test_80kmh, ...
- nameA, nameB, nameC, nameD,...
- Slow
- Buggy
- Security Risk
- Difficult to Work With
- Obfuscated Code Intent
- Confuses Data with Code
- Code Helper Tools do not Work
- Magically Making Variables Appear in a Workspace is Risky
- Indexing into Cell Array or ND-Array
- Non-scalar Structures (with Indexing)
- Dynamic Field-Names in a Structure
- load into a Structure, not into the Workspace
- save the Fields of a Scalar Structure
- Use a table or timetable Array
- Use more Efficient Ways to Pass Variables Between Workspaces
- the names defined as "keywords" do not in themselves involve function calls to publicly visible routines. These keywords currently include 'break', 'case', 'catch', 'classdef', 'continue', 'else', 'elseif', 'end', 'for', 'function', 'global', 'if', 'otherwise', 'parfor', 'persistent', 'return', 'spmd', 'switch', 'try', 'while'. There is no functional form of any of these: for example, one cannot use global(s) to declare the name contained in the variable "s" to be global. (However, you can define an "end" method; https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_oop/object-end-indexing.html )
- scalar numeric double precision real-valued constants are handled at parse time, including unary plus and unary minus in front of them
- scalar numeric double precision constants followed immediately by "i" or "j" create a complex-value constant at parse time, including unary plus and unary minus in front of them
- whether a complete complex constant with real and imaginary part is handled at parse time is unknown
- literal character vectors and string objects are handled at parse time
- in sufficiently new versions, int64() and uint64() around an integer constant is handled at parse time. This was a change from previous versions which handled it at run time (after the integer had been converted to double precision...)
- whether any other casts such as uint16() or logical() are now handled at parse time is unknown
- assignment of a compete variable (no indexing, no substructure references, etc.) to a plain variable (no indexing, no substructure references, etc.) does not involve any function calls to publicly visible routines (unless I have overlooked a case involving objects)
- "if" or "while" applied to a scalar logical constant or to a scalar logical variable does not involve any function calls to publicly visible routines. However, it is not known whether there is any method to construct a logical value without calling a MATLAB routine: "true" and "false" are MATLAB routines, not constants, and logical() of a numeric constant might be handled at run time
- "for" in which the range is named as a scalar constant or scalar variable do not involve any function calls to publicly visible routines; for example, "for K = 5"
- defining an anonymous function does not involve any function calls to publicly visible routines
