I have a question about why I can't use bwdist to generate the chessboard matrix?
Image Processing ToolBox is not allowed?

Hi guys,
Any one know how can you view a solution with lesser size than the one you submitted ?

Pradeep Miriyala on 8 Oct 2015

Interesting one

Xiaoli Zhang on 20 Aug 2016

never have the chance to see how people did it with less than 10 size

Solving another cody problem you will enable you to see all the solutions to a this problem, and so learning can take place :)

Lucas Valle on 3 Oct 2016

why does my solution work on matlab and not here?

Anoop Varghese on 4 Apr 2017

Very challenging problem

Best problem out of those I solved till now.

I have tried using padarray. Its working totally fine with my MATLAB R2017b, but this shows undefined function. Why? Which version cody compiler is compatible with?

Mohammad Abir Hassan Sarker on 11 Apr 2018

Simple Problem, but work out a lot for it, in the end I find the solution too simple. But great thing is I've learned a lot from it.

Jie LONG on 18 Apr 2018
