Download Updated

If you downloaded the contest code from the File Exchange before 9PM EDT, be sure to get the updated version. There was an error in grade.m, first pointed out by Alan Chalker on the newsreader thread. You may remember Alan as the winner of the last MATLAB Contest, Blockbuster. You can read about him and his last contest experience. We’re happy to see the entries that have been submitted so far and especially welcome the new participants. The contestant who submits the best entry before the end of darkness at noon EDT on Thursday will join Alan in the MATLAB Contest Hall of Fame.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).


The MATLAB Programming Contest is a semi-annual competition where contestants submit MATLAB code to try to solve a challenge. For more information, see the overview.
