A <a href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_number">vampire number</a> is a
number v that is the product of two numbers x and y such that the
following conditions are satisfied:<ol><li>at most one of x and y are divisible by 10;</li><li>x and y have the same number of digits; and</li><li>The digits in v consist of the digits of x and y (including any
repetitions).</li></ol>If these conditions are met, x and y are known as "fangs" of v. For
example, 1260 is a vampire number because 1260 = 21*60, so 21 and 60 are
the fangs.Write a function that returns all the vampire numbers in a given array.
The output is a vector.Example:
 disp(find_vampire(1000:2000)
 1260 1395 1435 1530 1827See also:

Are you sure about the first rule? It doesn't seem necessary according to https://oeis.org/A014575.

Since I created the problem series and want the Functions I badge, I thought I'd provide the solution that incorporates vampire_factor and are_fangs. Not a great score, but readable!

Sorry, I mean the Magic Numbers badge.
