You should mention that the answer should be given as a column vector, rather than row vector.

One at this time must examine the assessment code to give the right answer, while I think it should be self-contained in the question itself.

Thanks Richard. I have modified the problem description to mention this.

function good = find_good_hotels(hotels,ratings,cutoff)
good = hotels(cutoff<=ratings);
end

The problem is incorrectly defined. The solver doesn't know if "hotel" is a row or column vector in the first place and I am not sure you can use logical signs for strings, that doesn't make sense to me (ie. where is it defined that string "good" is logically greater than "not good").

good = find_good_hotels(hotels,ratings,cutoff)
h= hotels(ratings>=cutoff)'
good = (h');

The leading solution is super concise. I learned something from it.

I don't understand how this solution works? The return value is not set?

Nico Noordam on 18 Dec 2019

return only the names of those hotels with a rating of cutoff value or above in an output variable good.

So this solution will fail if rating is equal to cutoff. This is not tested in the asserts!
