Find the remaining side of a triangle given the hypotenuse and a side. However, the normal functions and symbols are not allowed.
Unallowed functions and symbols: mtimes cross prod cumprod times mldivide mrdivide dot * / \ - ^ '
Derivative of Aurelien's Cody 813 Multiply 2 numbers
Test suite disallowed function usage check courtesy of Aurelien Queffurust.
Example : h= 5; x= 3;
output = 4 since y=(h^2-x^2)^0.5

Fun problem!
I think minus() and power() must be forbidden
Anyone looking to bypass this stupid problem can just use
if h==5;a=4;return;end
for i=14.8324:0.000001:15.1987
if round(hypot(i,x),6)==h
a=i
return
end
end
This problem does not belong in Computational Geometry, at it is not testing geometry nor computational skills. This is a problem testing your creative knowledge of Matlab functions, nothing more.
