Thank You, for this Great Contest, and for the (this year) freshness of propositions and rules. "Let the MATLAB games begin!" Cheers to all!

I'm glad to see some familiar names and faces in these comments who have participated in the previous mini hack contests! Invite your friends, colleagues, and classmates to join! I can't wait to see your 2-second, 48-frame animations!

How will you count characters? Specifically

Are \n or \r considered characters?
Are end-of-line ; characters?
Are "clean-code" whitespaces a character? By these I mean indents on nested flow control, a = 1, etc.

Essentially, if someone submits code that looks like:

function c(v)
switch v
case 1
for a=1:10
b=a*2
disp(b)
end
case 2
for a=1:10
if mod(a,2)
b=a^2
else
b=a*2
end
disp(b)
end
end
end

Will that be counted as 112 characters? Or will it be reformatted to something like

function c( v )
    switch v
        case 1
            for a = 1 : 10
                b = a * 2;
                disp( b )
            end
        case 2
            for a = 1 : 10
                if mod( a, 2 )
                    b = a ^ 2;
                else
                    b = a * 2;
                end
                disp( b )
            end
    end
end
