I have the impression, that the testcase is broken.
My solution runs fine on my computer and fails in Cody.
It even does not give an output (which I usualy get in all other problems). The simple testfunction
function next = nextP(curr)
disp(curr);
next=curr;
end
Does not give an output too. What is the issue? How can I get the thing working?
Thanks for any reply ;-)
