Given a matrix where row i corresponds to person i, and column j corresponds to task j and cell (i,j) corresponds to the time taken for person i to complete task j. Output an assignment array for the minimal time taken for all tasks.
For example, if presented with the following matrix:
x = [1,3,4,7;
2,3,1,3;
4,2,3,7;
6,4,2,2;]Your output array would be:
a = [1,3,2,4].
Where person one is assigned to task one, person three is assigned to task two , person two is assigned to task three and person four is assigned to task four.
This gives us a total time of 1+1+2+2=6 which is minimal.

In test #1 answer could be [1 4 2 3], couldn't it? It gives tt = 10, same as proposed [1 2 4 3].
You're correct, Jan. Both options give you a minimum time of 10.
Additional test cases have been added.
I think that ones(4) in Test #3 should be eye(4), instead. Also, #1 has to be fixed as Jan pointed out.
The corrections mentioned by Yuichi (and Jan) have been made.
Good problem.
