Return a list of all values (sorted smallest to largest) that appear exactly three times in the input vector x. So if
x = [1 2 5 2 2 7 8 3 3 1 3 8 8 8]
then
y = [2 3]

why 'tabulate' function does not work here. It gives an error saying undefined function.

Ashan, tabulate is in stats. Cody does not have Statistics Toolbox.

the in-build function tabulate cannot used in here.

When I run the following solution for Test Suite #1, I get a zero in my solution array. If I replace c(i) with c, I get back a 2 and 3 (no zero). What is going on that a zero shows up?
[count, val] = histcounts(categorical(vect))
val = cellfun(@str2double, val) % convert val from string to numerical
for i = 1:length(count)
if count(i) == 3
c(i) = val(i)
end
end

Slower, but actually readable in 2 lines.

It works well on version R2013b. Has the cmd "unique" changed?

Sorry for gaming towards the test set... should use min(x) and max(x) instead of -3 and 11.

'tabulate' function is define for inputs of type 'double'...Please check.

I think HIST would be more correct here than HISTC, as HIST takes bin centres as an argument, rather than bin edges.
But this is a very clever solution. I'm using min:max as bin centres, quite a bit longer!

used function tabulate for a solution, however I got the following error : Undefined function 'tabulate' for input arguments of type 'double'. On the other hand this works quite well at my desktop version, can anyone explain why it is so.

Tabulate is in the Statistics Toolbox. http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/stats/tabulate.html

When I run the 3rd test locally, the result is accepted. But inside Cody the check fails.

The crosstab function is in the Statistics Toolbox. Cody only supports the commands in the basic MATLAB Toolbox.

please check the first case in your test suite:
the correct output should be [2 3 8], since the 8 also appears exactly three times

8 is 4 times, not three.
