In the FAQs, I saw the procedure to download the "mobile background", is the the same thing as an award? If yes, good, else how can we get an award and what are the available ones?

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
It’s exciting to dive into a new dataset full of unfamiliar variables but it can also be overwhelming if you’re not sure where to start. Recently, I discovered some new interactive features in MATLAB live scripts that make it much easier to get an overview of your data. With just a few clicks, you can display sparklines and summary statistics using table variables, sort and filter variables, and even have MATLAB generate the corresponding code for reproducibility.
The Graphics and App Building blog published an article that walks through these features showing how to explore, clean, and analyze data—all without writing any code.
If you’re interested in streamlining your exploratory data analysis or want to see what’s new in live scripts, you might find it helpful:
If you’ve tried these features or have your own tips for quick data exploration in MATLAB, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Submit your questions about this work in the comment section below.
isequal() is your best friend for Cody! It compares arrays perfectly without rounding errors — much safer than == for matrix outputs.

Glad to have watched the session, especially the part when the speaker, Arthur gave an answer to my question on "speech recognition use case" in Avionics.
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 set my 3D matrix up with the players in the 3rd dimension. I set up the matrix with: 1) player does not hold the card (-1), player holds the card (1), and unknown holding the card (0). I moved through the turns (-1 and 1) that are fixed first. Then cycled through the conditional turns (0) while checking the cards of each player using the hints provided until it was solved. The key for me in solving several of the tests (11, 17, and 19) was looking at the 1's and 0's being held by each player.
sum(cardState==1,3);%any zeros in this 2D matrix indicate possible cards in the solution
sum(cardState==0,3)>0;%the ones in this 2D matrix indicate the only unknown positions
sum(cardState==1,3)|sum(cardState==0,3)>0;%oring the two together could provide valuable information
Some MATLAB Cody problems prohibit loops (for, while) or conditionals (if, switch, while), forcing creative solutions.
One elegant trick is to use nested functions and recursion to achieve the same logic — while staying within the rules.
Example: Recursive Summation Without Loops or Conditionals
Suppose loops and conditionals are banned, but you need to compute the sum of numbers from 1 to n. This is a simple example and obvisously n*(n+1)/2 would be preferred.
function s = sumRecursive(n)
zero=@(x)0;
s = helper(n); % call nested recursive function
function out = helper(k)
L={zero,@helper};
out = k+L{(k>0)+1}(k-1);
end
end
sumRecursive(10)
- The helper function calls itself until the base case is reached.
- Logical indexing into a cell array (k>0) act as an 'if' replacement.
- MATLAB allows nested functions to share variables and functions (zero), so you can keep state across calls.
Tips:
- Replace 'if' with logical indexing into a cell array.
- Replace for/while with recursion.
- Nested functions are local and can access outer variables, avoiding global state.

Many MATLAB Cody problems involve recognizing integer sequences.
If a sequence looks familiar but you can’t quite place it, the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) can be your best friend.
OEIS will often identify the sequence, provide a formula, recurrence relation, or even direct MATLAB-compatible pseudocode.
Example: Recognizing a Cody Sequence
Suppose you encounter this sequence in a Cody problem:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...
Entering it on OEIS yields A000045 – The Fibonacci Numbers, defined by:
F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2), with F(1)=1, F(2)=1
You can then directly implement it in MATLAB:
function F = fibSeq(n)
F = zeros(1,n);
F(1:2) = 1;
for k = 3:n
F(k) = F(k-1) + F(k-2);
end
end
fibSeq(15)
When solving MATLAB Cody problems involving very large integers (e.g., factorials, Fibonacci numbers, or modular arithmetic), you might exceed MATLAB’s built-in numeric limits.
To overcome this, you can use Java’s java.math.BigInteger directly within MATLAB — it’s fast, exact, and often accepted by Cody if you convert the final result to a numeric or string form.
Below is an example of using it to find large factorials.
function s = bigFactorial(n)
import java.math.BigInteger
f = BigInteger('1');
for k = 2:n
f = f.multiply(BigInteger(num2str(k)));
end
s = char(f.toString); % Return as string to avoid overflow
end
bigFactorial(100)

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.
