Problem 44950. Calculate Inner Product

I solved this question with an if condition and the size of my solution was 39. I found the size of the leading solution to be 14. This is the leading solution: function ans = in_prod(x,y)
"no";
try
x*y;
end
How is this even correct? I tried to paste the same solution instead of mine and the assertion failed. z is not mentioned anywhere in this code. Can someone enlighten me?

If the output x*y is not assigned to any variable, MATLAB assigns it to the variable ans by default. In this solution, z has been replaced with ans in the function definition to return the unassigned output.

I am confused... this ought to work:
function z = in_prod(x,y)
if size(x,2) == size(y,1)
z = x * y
else
z = "The inner dimensions are " + size(x) + " and " + size(y) + ". Matrix multiplication is not possible"
end

This is dot product, not inner product, as the title suggests. They are not exactly the same.

I personally suggest substituting the title with 'dot product', as the description states.

What is wrong with this code? It's working on the downloaded version.
[xrow,xcol]=size(x);
[yrow,ycol]=size(y);
if xcol==yrow
z = x*y
else
z='Have you checked the inner dimensions?'
end
