isequal() is your best friend for Cody! It compares arrays perfectly without rounding errors — much safer than == for matrix outputs.
When Cody hides test cases, test your function with random small inputs first. If it works for many edge cases, it will almost always pass the grader.

I realized that using vectorized logic instead of nested loops makes Cody problems run much faster and cleaner. Functions like any(), all(), and logical indexing can replace multiple for-loops easily !
Hi cool guys,
I hope you are coding so cool!
FYI, in Problem 61065. Convert Hexavigesimal to Decimal in Cody Contest 2025 there's a small issue with the text:
[ ... For example, the text ‘aloha’ would correspond to a vector of values [0 11 14 7 0], thus representing the base-26 value 202982 = 11*263 + 14*262 + 7*26 ...]
The bold section should be:
202982 = 11*26^3 + 14*26^2 + 7*26
If you have solved a Cody problem before, you have likely seen the Scratch Pad text field below the Solution text field. It provides a quick way to get feedback on your solution before submitting it. Since submitting a solution takes you to a new page, any time a wrong solution is submitted, you have to navigate back to the problem page to try it again.
Instead, I use the Scratch Pad to test my solution repeatedly before submitting. That way, I get to a working solution faster without having to potentially go back and forth many times between the problem page and the wrong-solution page.
Here is my approach:
- Write a tentative solution.
- Copy a test case from the test suite into the Scratch Pad.
- Click the Run Function button—this is immediately below the Scratch Pad and above the Output panel and Submit buttons.
- If the solution does not work, modify the solution code, sometimes putting in disp() lines and/or removing semicolons to trace what the code is doing. Repeat until the solution passes.
- If the solution does work, repeat steps 2 through 4.
- Once there are no more test cases to copy and paste, clean up the code, if necessary (delete disp lines, reinstate all semicolons to suppress output). Click the Run Function button once more, just to make sure I did not break the solution while cleaning it up. Then, click the Submit button.
For problems with large test suites, you may find it useful to copy and paste in multiple test cases per iteration.
Hopefully you find this useful.

The all-community-solutions view shows the ID of each solution, and you can click on the link to go to the solution.
The preferred-community-solutions view does not show the solution IDs and does not link to the solutions. As far as I can tell, there is no way to get from that view to the solutions. If, for example, you want to go to the solution to leave a comment there, you can't.

Hi cody fellows,
I already solved more than 500 problems -months ago, last july if I remember well- and get this scholar badge, but then it suddenly disappeared a few weeks later. I then solved a few more problems and it reappeared.
Now I observed it disappeared once more a few days ago.
Have you also noticed this erratic behavior of the scholar badge ? Is it normal and / or intentional ? If not, how to explain it ? (deleted problems ?)
Cheers,
Nicolas
I'm seeing solution maps shown with low-contrast gray colors instead of the correct symbol colors. I have observed this using both Safari and Chrome. Screenshot:
Here is a screenshot of a Cody problem that I just created. The math rendering is poor. (I have since edited the problem to remove the math formatting.)
Are there any code restrictions for programming Cody solutions? I could not find anything mentioned at https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/content/cody/about.html, other than toolbox functions not being available.
For some time now, this has been bugging me - so I thought to gather some more feedback/information/opinions on this.
What would you classify Recursion? As a loop or as a vectorized section of code?
For context, this query occured to me while creating Cody problems involving strict (so to speak) vectorization - (Everyone is more than welcome to check my recent Cody questions).
To make problems interesting and/or difficult, I (and other posters) ban functions and functionalities - such as for loops, while loops, if-else statements, arrayfun() and the rest of the fun() family functions. However, some of the solutions including the reference solution I came up with for my latest problem, contained recursion.
I am rather divided on how to categorize it. What do you think?
Hey cody fellows :-) !
I recently created two problem groups, but as you can see I struggle to set their cover images :
What is weird given :
- I already did it successfully twice in the past for my previous groups ;
- If you take one problem specifically, Problem 60984. Mesh the icosahedron for instance, you can normally see the icon of the cover image in the top right hand corner, can't you ?
- I always manage to set cover images to my contributions (mostly in the filexchange).
I already tried several image formats, included .png 4/3 ratio, but still the cover images don't set.
Could you please help me to correctly set my cover images ?
Thank you.

I like this problem by James and have solved it in several ways. A solution by Natalie impressed me and introduced me to a new function conv2. However, it occured to me that the numerous test for the problem only cover cases of square matrices. My original solutions, and Natalie's, did niot work on rectangular matrices. I have now produced a solution which works on rectangular matrices. Thanks for this thought provoking problem James.
I have written, tested, and prepared a function with four subsunctions on my computer for solving one of the problems in the list of Cody problems in MathWorks in three days. Today, when I wanted to upload or copy paste the codes of the function and its subfunctions to the specified place of the problem of Cody page, I do not see a place to upload it, and the ability to copy past the codes. The total of the entire codes and their documentations is about 600 lines, which means that I cannot and it is not worth it to retype all of them in the relevent Cody environment after spending a few days. I would appreciate your guidance on how to enter the prepared codes to the desired environment in Cody.
I've been trying this problem a lot of time and i don't understand why my solution doesnt't work.
In 4 tests i get the error Assertion failed but when i run the code myself i get the diag and antidiag correctly.
function [diag_elements, antidg_elements] = your_fcn_name(x)
[m, n] = size(x);
% Inicializar los vectores de la diagonal y la anti-diagonal
diag_elements = zeros(1, min(m, n));
antidg_elements = zeros(1, min(m, n));
% Extraer los elementos de la diagonal
for i = 1:min(m, n)
diag_elements(i) = x(i, i);
end
% Extraer los elementos de la anti-diagonal
for i = 1:min(m, n)
antidg_elements(i) = x(m-i+1, i);
end
end
