Suggestion on implementation. Usage of persistent with a flag that bikes are isolated will save time.

Anyone knows why I cannot change recursion limit by set(0,'RecursionLimit',1200)? As far as I recall, I had done it before in Cody. Has Cody blocked access to this option?

Hello Rifat. I've made some tests and had no problem to change 'RecursionLimit' to 1200 although for a very simple function I've been able to do up to 993 recursions, but for any higher number cody server returned 'temporary unavailability of MATLAB Service' error. Please note that this problem occured when a function which was using recursion were changeing 'RecursionLimit' by itself (even if 'set(...' is called only once). When limit was changed from main function and a subfunction was recursed, or when limit was changed from testsuite everything works normal.

yes.. I changed recursion limit from the subfunction. thanks for the tips.. :)
