Christmas season is underway at my house:
(Sorry - the ornament is not available at the MathWorks Merch Shop -- I made it with a 3-D printer.)
Is it possible to differenciate the input, output and in-between wires by colors?
I was curious to startup your new AI Chat playground.
The first screen that popped up made the statement:
"Please keep in mind that AI sometimes writes code and text that seems accurate, but isnt"
Can someone elaborate on what exactly this means with respect to your AI Chat playground integration with the Matlab tools?
Are there any accuracy metrics for this integration?
I know we have all been in that all-too-common situation of needing to inefficiently identify prime numbers using only a regular expression... and now Matt Parker from Standup Maths helpfully released a YouTube video entitled "How on Earth does ^.?$|^(..+?)\1+$ produce primes?" in which he explains a simple regular expression (aka Halloween incantation) which matches composite numbers:
Here is my first attempt using MATLAB and Matt Parker's example values:
fnh = @(n) isempty(regexp(repelem('*',n),'^.?$|^(..+?)\1+$','emptymatch'));
fnh(13)
ans = logical
1
fnh(15)
ans = logical
0
fnh(101)
ans = logical
1
fnh(1000)
ans = logical
0
Feel free to try/modify the incantation yourself. Happy Halloween!

I was browsing the MathWorks website and decided to check the Cody leaderboard. To my surprise, William has now solved 5,000 problems. At the moment, there are 5,227 problems on Cody, so William has solved over 95%. The next competitor is over 500 problems behind. His score is also clearly the highest, approaching 60,000.
Please take a moment to congratulate @William.
I've been working on some matrix problems recently(Problem 55225)
and this is my code
It turns out that "Undefined function 'corr' for input arguments of type 'double'." However, should't the input argument of "corr" be column vectors with single/double values? What's even going on there?
Hi All,
I'm currently verifying a global sensitivity analysis done in SimBiology and I'm a touch confused. This analysis was run with every parameter and compartment volume in the model. To my understanding the fraction of unexplained variance is 1 - the sum of the first order variances, therefore if the model dynamics are dominated by interparameter effects you might see a higher fraction of unexplained variance. In this analysis however, as the attached figure shows (with input at t=20 minutes), the most sensitive four parameters seem to sum, in first order sensitivities to roughly one at each time point and the total order sensitivies appear nearly identical. So how is the fraction of unexplained variance near one?
Thank you for your help!

Imagine that the earth is a perfect sphere with a radius of 6371000 meters and there is a rope tightly wrapped around the equator. With one line of MATLAB code determine how much the rope will be lifted above the surface if you cut it and insert a 1 meter segment of rope into it (and then expand the whole rope back into a circle again, of course).
hello i found the following tools helpful to write matlab programs. copilot.microsoft.com chatgpt.com/gpts gemini.google.com and ai.meta.com. thanks a lot and best wishes.
Check out the LLMs with MATLAB project on File Exchange to access Large Language Models from MATLAB.
Along with the latest support for GPT-4o mini, you can use LLMs with MATLAB to generate images, categorize data, and provide semantic analyis.

I am trying to earn my Intro to MATLAB badge in Cody, but I cannot click the Roll the Dice! problem. It simply is not letting me click it, therefore I cannot earn my badge. Does anyone know who I should contact or what to do?
What do you think about the NVIDIA's achivement of becoming the top giant of manufacturing chips, especially for AI world?
Hi to everyone!
To simplify the explanation and the problem, I simulated the kinetics of an irreversible first-order reaction, A -> B. I implemented it in two independent compartments, R and P. I simulated the effect of a dilution in R by doubling at t= 0,1 the R volume. I programmed in P that, at t = 0.1, the instantaneous concentration of A and B would be reduced by half. I am sending an attach with the implementation of these simulations in the Simbiology interface.
When the simulations of the two compartments are plotted, it can be seen that the responses are not equal. That is, from t = 0.1 s, the reaction follow an exponential function in R with half of the initial amplitude and half of the initial value of k1. That is, the relaxation time is doubled. Meanwhile, in P, from t = 0.1, the reaction follows exponential kinetics with half the amplitude value but maintaining the initial value of k = 10. Without a doubt, the correct simulation is the latter (compartment P) where only the effect is observed in the amplitude and not in the relaxation time. Could you tell me what the error is that makes these kinetics that should be equal not be?
Thank you in advance!

Twitch built an entire business around letting you watch over someone's shoulder while they play video games. I feel like we should be able to make at least a few videos where we get to watch over someone's shoulder while they solve Cody problems. I would pay good money for a front-row seat to watch some of my favorite solvers at work. Like, I want to know, did Alfonso Nieto-Castonon just sit down and bang out some of those answers, or did he have to think about it for a while? What was he thinking about while he solved it? What resources was he drawing on? There's nothing like watching a master craftsman at work.
I can imagine a whole category of Cody videos called "How I Solved It". I tried making one of these myself a while back, but as far as I could tell, nobody else made one.
Here's the direct link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoSmO1XklAQ
I hereby challenge you to make a "How I Solved It" video and post it here. If you make one, I'll make another one.
The Ans Hack is a dubious way to shave a few points off your solution score. Instead of a standard answer like this
function y = times_two(x)
y = 2*x;
end
you would do this
function ans = times_two(x)
2*x;
end
The ans variable is automatically created when there is no left-hand side to an evaluated expression. But it makes for an ugly function. I don't think anyone actually defends it as a good practice. The question I would ask is: is it so offensive that it should be specifically disallowed by the rules? Or is it just one of many little hacks that you see in Cody, inelegant but tolerable in the context of the surrounding game?
Incidentally, I wrote about the Ans Hack long ago on the Community Blog. Dealing with user-unfriendly code is also one of the reasons we created the Head-to-Head voting feature. Some techniques are good for your score, and some are good for your code readability. You get to decide with you care about.
Hi All,
I've been producing a QSP model of glucose homeostasis for a while now for my PhD project, recently I've been able to expand it to larger time series, i.e. 2 days of data rather than a singular injection or a singular meal. My problem is as follows: If I put 75g of glucose into my stomach glucose species any later than (exactly) 8.5 hours I get an integration tolerance error. Curiosly, I can put 25g of glucose in at any time up to 15.9 hours, then any later an error. I have disabled all connections to my glucose absorption chain, i.e. stomach -> duodenum -> jenenum -> ileum -> removal, to isolate the cause of this. I had initially thought it may be because I mechanistically model liver glycogen and that does deplete over time, but I've tested enough to show that that does nothing. My next test is to isolate the glucose absorption chain into a seperate model and see if the issue persists but I'm completely baffled!
These are the equations, to my eye there's no reason why there would be such a sharp glucose quantity/time dependence, they all begin at a value of 0:
d(Gs)/dt = -(kw*(1-Gd^14/(Igd^14+Gd^14))*Gs) #Stomach glucose
d(Gd)/dt = (kw*(1-Gd^14/(Igd^14+Gd^14))*Gs) - (kdj*Gd) #Duodenal Glucose
d(Gj)/dt = (kdj*Gd) - (kji*Gj) #Jejunal Glucose
d(Gi)/dt = (kji*Gj) - (kic*Gi) #Ileal Glucose
(The sigmoidicity of gastric emptying slowing term (^14) was parameterised off of paracetamol absorption data and appears to be correct!)
Thank you for your help, best regards,
Dan
Pre-Edit: I changed the run time to 30 hours and now I can't use the 75g input any later than 7.9 hours not 8.5 hours anymore!
Edit: This is how it appears at all times prior to it failing for 75g:
