your problem need the result is: 'The large number will be given as a string, 1xn characters.', but your test suits given is double
hi i have a problem with the fact that how to convert this series into columns of a matrix in double without changing the arrangement ?
any advise on this would much appreciated thankyou
The problem isn't clear. I thought I was looking for the location of the largest of one of string(prod(0:4), prod(1:5), .. prod(5:9)) in the text. But the answers are way larger than either these numbers, or the length of the string.
A lot of solutions fail on a='1111109999'. Be sure to include "Endpoints","discard" when using movprod().
