The problem suite doesn't function properly. The following statement is the culprit:
assert(isequal(c = split_nan_delimited(x), y_correct))
and can be changed to:
assert(isequal(split_nan_delimited(x), c_correct))
for all the test cases.

Furthermore, do not test for emptiness with isequal. Use isempty instead. There are many ways to generate empty cell arrays and matrices in Matlab, none of which are equal with isequal.

Sky Sartorius on 30 Dec 2014

Doh! Embarrassing copy paste error. I hope it's all fixed now.

Guillaume on 30 Dec 2014

Test 10 still test for emptiness with isequal.

Test suite has been updated to include row vectors as test cases as well.

'ans' bug? It seems that the output is not assigned correctly to ans. Solutions 559047 ...48 ...50 work.
To be more specific, several expressions does't return anything when the output is not specified. for example: cellfun(@nnz,{}); does't change the value of ans while: ans=cellfun(@nnz,{}); does (and ans = {})

Is that a bug on 'ans' or 'cellfun'?

Jan Orwat on 17 Jan 2015

it occurs for both arrayfun and cellfun, seems to be problem with ans. Here is an old topic on answers: http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/46972-is-this-a-possible-matlab-bug-further-strange-behavior

Jan Orwat on 17 Jan 2015

btw. I've written "does (and ans = {})", should be "does (and ans = [])"
