error in the test:

assert(isequal(your_fcn_name(x),y_correct))
Error: Undefined function or variable 'x'.

Should be:

assert(isequal(your_fcn_name(Points,circle),y_correct))

I went ahead and fixed the calling syntax on that.

Thanks for the corrections!

You should correct the first test!

Li Ding on 22 Oct 2017

The first test case is wrong.

Rafael Hernandez-Walls on 20 Nov 2017

The first test case is wrong, is FALSE

A valid, compact submission. [But note that the function used here was first
introduced in R2017b, and not available to Cody Players before circa Sept 2017.]

I thought "in" a circle meant interior...the 3rd test is ON the circle.

I agree that the Problem Statement was, at best, ambiguous on this detail — or, at worst, misleading. As a separate matter, the example should consistently use brackets, not a mixture of brackets and parentheses.

Exploits somewhat limited number of tests within Test Suite. Please add additional tests. You may also consider including some random elements in the input vectors. E.g. Points = [0, rand/2] instead of (or as well as) the existing Points = [0, 0.5] in the first test. It won't necessarily 'prevent' all exploits, but it will make them much less attractive.
