Your initial code suggestion is weird :)

can someone please explain what exactly is size which is displayed after submitting the code?

Dyuman Joshi on 12 Aug 2022

Hello Kaushik,

Cody initially used a code-size point system for solving a problem, which gave you points according to the size of the solution. That was, the smaller your solution size, the more points you got.

The solution size is calculated as follows - "Cody uses a node-count calculation to determine the solution size based on the number of nodes in the parse tree. Think of size as code length. Comments do not contribute to code size."

Also note that the scoring system was changed to fixed points system (10 points for solving a problem) some time ago.

function [q,r] = swapInputs(a,b)
[q1,r1] = cart2pol(a,b);
q1=(pi/2)-q1;
[q,r]=pol2cart(q1,r1);
end

if u run above code in matlab it successfully swaps any input argument. why it is not accepting solution ?

This is a correct solution - alas using a function handle, not an m-file

I had no idea it'd be this simple.
