Why is eval forbidden while regexp isn't? Don't they have the same 'nature'?
It seems that the vast majority of leading solutions are size 10 or 11. If a problem has a single output, then having a return argument of 'ans' makes the size smaller. For instance:
function ans=findmean(x,y)
mean([x y])
is smaller in size than
function m=findmean(x,y)
m = mean([x y])
This seems silly, and makes me think that there is some 'trick' to these size 10&11 solutions that has little to do with good coding practices. Of course, it could just be sour grapes on my part because I can't get my sizes even close to that small.
