Happy problem-solving! We hope you are a winner.
Below are some FAQs for the Cody contest 2020. If you have any additional questions, ask your questions by replying to this post. We will keep updating the FAQs.
Q1: If I rate a problem I solved before the contest, will I still get a raffle ticket?
A: Yes. You can rate any problem you have solved, whether it was before or during the contest period.
Q2: When will I receive the contest badges that I've earned?
A: All badges will be awarded after the contest ends.
Q3: How do I know if I’m the raffle winner?

Q5: I'm new to Cody. If I have some questions about using Cody, how can I get help?
A: You can ask your question by replying this post. Other community users might help you and we will also monitor the threads. You might also find answers here .
Q6: What do I do if I have a question about a specific problem?
A: If the problem description is unclear, the test suite is broken, or similar concerns arise, post your question(s) as a comment on the specific problem page. If you are having a hard time solving a problem, you can post a comment to your solution attempt (after submitting it). However, do not ask other people to solve problems for you.
Q7: If I find a bug or notice someone is cheating/spamming during the contest, how can I report it?
A: Use Web Site Feedback . Select "MATLAB Central" from the category list.
Q8: Why can't I rate a problem?
A: To rate a problem, you must solve that problem first and have at least 50 total points.
- the kind of tool or task that we don't really expect in the next MATLAB release (ie., not a frequent entry in a MATLAB wishlist)
- something that would be useful to you and (hopefully) others if it existed.
- something that could conceivably be made by people(s) in the user community
- I've been wanting to write an object-oriented replacement for the NURBS toolbox which is a great toolbox but is very unwieldy to use.
- would you find useful to have spellcheck built into the MATLAB Editor?
- Unexpected but intentional behaviour
- Special things that the programmers left for us to discover
- Extra code inside a function that can be used for other purposes
- Hidden pictures and audio clips
- Repeated Easter Eggs, if someone already posted it please don't repeat
- Bugs in functions that cause trouble and might be fixed in later versions
- Matlab games that come with the program unless they aren't mentioned in the documentation (the games are in the other demos, try the xpbombs and fifteen, you can even see the code for both games)
