Good idea to write matlab code as the other language like c.

Mu on 16 Jan 2019

Maybe I just don't have the matlab skills for this problem, but maybe the test suite is broken which makes it impossible to solve:
%%mkdir @function_handle

The test suite has been fixed. (The initial line is no longer commented out.)

Another problem in the test suite? The 2nd line in the test suite:
movefile submission/colon.m @function_handle
gives an error:
The function colon is a built-in MATLAB function. Please use a different function name.

Fixed.
