FNAME = DOMYHOMEWORK(DESCRIPTION,DESIREDGRADE) writes to an M-File, FNAME, the correct solution to the homework assignment given by the text of DESCRIPTION. The optional input, DESIREDGRADE, will take into account the desired level of MATLAB competence. These are to be capital letters chose from 'A','B','C',D','F'. If 'A' is chose, the code within the M-File will be fully documented, with help and an H1 line, with input and error checking, and vectorized where appropriate for optimum efficiency. If 'D' is chosen, there will be no comments, no help, and nearly every line will use a call to EVAL. Also the code may be buggy. See also DOMYSENIORPROJECT, DOMYGRADUATETHESIS

You guys are making jokes and I took Walter almost for serious?! I should stop posting on weekends and reading posts about future Matlab releases, before I get nightmares. Jan

Do you define a full-page answer, links and examples included, as ALMOST????? BTW, I'm a bit disappointed that in the SEE ALSO line of DOMYHOMEWORK there's no mention of the most awesome function: ifYouSeekAyou. Oleg

Dear Oleg! > > And "goto" ?! You guys are making jokes and I took Walter almost for serious?! > > Almost?!! Do you define a full-page answer, links and examples included, as ALMOST????? While GOTO is obviously funny, I believe that TMW is able to implement Index0 and a do-what-you-think-that-I-mean-SAVE. Anyhow, system_dependent('dwim') ?! This is working since 2008a, so what?
