function b = matchPattern(a)
b=[];
len=length(a(1,:))-1;
[r,c]=size(a);
pattern=zeros(r-1,len);
for j=1:r
for i=1:len
if a(j,i+1)>a(j,i)
pattern(j,i)=1;
elseif a(j,i+1)

I'm not proud of this solution, the scoring system is clearly flawed.

Seems like the filter preventing abuse of @eval needs some work!

This solution is wrong. It detects a common patten among any two rows and not just the first row and other rows.
