Write an efficient function which computes the length of the longest run of heads in an arbitrary sequence of heads and tails ?
The excercise is about a coin toss and i would really appreciate if someone could help me with this excercise.

KBB it's really clear that your professor found this link ;) and thank you for disrespecting others effort.

at any one time you only need a few pieces of information:
- are you currently in a run
- length of the current run
- maximum length of run encountered so far
if you are not in a run and you encounter a T then move on to the next entry
if you are in a run and you encounter a T then compare the length of the current run to the maximum so far to determine if you have a new record. Afterwards either way mark yourself as no longer being in a run. then move on to the next entry.
if you are in a run and encounter a H then increment the length of the current run. Then move on to the next entry.
I left out a detail that you should be able to catch.
You can get away with using just two variables aside from the loop index.

N = 2 ; % [1- heads, 2-tails]
toss = 100 ; %number of tossings
state = zeros(toss,1) ;
for i = 1:toss
state(i) = randperm(N,1) ;
end
% split the states which are continuous 1 and/or 2
S = mat2cell(state, diff([0; find(diff(state)); size(state,1)]));
% Get the length of sequence of states
L = cellfun(@length,S) ;
% Get the maximum length sequence
[val,id] = max(L) ;
fprintf("State:%d is repeated maximum of %d times\n",unique(S{id}),val)

You should understand first how/ what the code is.
Thanks is accepting the answer. :)
