Problem 964. McCabe Complexity

Created by Richard Zapor

Solve Later

The Challenge is to return the McCabe complexity for various functions.
One way to determine the McCabe Complexity is to use the form:
 checkcode -cyc polyval.m
which returns: L 1 (C 23-29): The McCabe complexity of 'polyval' is 19.
Input: Function name (string)
Output: McCabe Complexity (numeric)
Example:
For 'polyval.m' the expected output is 19.
For some functions there are structures and fields which complicates finding the McCabe complexity value.
The McCabe complexity is used in the scoring of the Matlab Semi-annual contests. Complexities higher than 10 induce severe penalties.

Excellent problem!!! Cody is a great for getting acquainted with Matlab features I have never used.

It seems that the first case of the test suite is still being called which generates an error and makes impossible to solve the problem without hacks. The polyval function's complexity currently is 22, not 19. Please remove the test case (which will not render previous solutions false) or update its value.
