Problem 57615. About jokes (and compression)
An argument can be made about jokes. The shorter they are, the funnier. Further explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humour#Formula.Thus, jokes are data compression made art.
You will be given a single text for the whole problem. Your goal is to make it shorter so it would take less space.
Write a function that takes no argument. It always returns the same character array. You will find that exact array in the Test Suite. However, the content of your MATLAB file must be shorter than the source material. The number of characters you type counts and you must save at least 25%.
Find patterns and/or useful documentation on your own. There are multiple ways to go about it. I know you will come up with a great one-liner. Have fun!
