Many MATLAB Cody problems involve recognizing integer sequences.
If a sequence looks familiar but you can’t quite place it, the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) can be your best friend.
Visit https://oeis.org and paste the first few terms into the search bar.
OEIS will often identify the sequence, provide a formula, recurrence relation, or even direct MATLAB-compatible pseudocode.
Example: Recognizing a Cody Sequence
Suppose you encounter this sequence in a Cody problem:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...
Entering it on OEIS yields A000045 – The Fibonacci Numbers, defined by:
F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2), with F(1)=1, F(2)=1
You can then directly implement it in MATLAB:
function F = fibSeq(n)
F = zeros(1,n);
F(1:2) = 1;
for k = 3:n
F(k) = F(k-1) + F(k-2);
end
end
fibSeq(15)
ans = 1×15
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610

When solving MATLAB Cody problems involving very large integers (e.g., factorials, Fibonacci numbers, or modular arithmetic), you might exceed MATLAB’s built-in numeric limits.
To overcome this, you can use Java’s java.math.BigInteger directly within MATLAB — it’s fast, exact, and often accepted by Cody if you convert the final result to a numeric or string form.
Below is an example of using it to find large factorials.
function s = bigFactorial(n)
import java.math.BigInteger
f = BigInteger('1');
for k = 2:n
f = f.multiply(BigInteger(num2str(k)));
end
s = char(f.toString); % Return as string to avoid overflow
end
bigFactorial(100)
ans = '93326215443944152681699238856266700490715968264381621468592963895217599993229915608941463976156518286253697920827223758251185210916864000000000000000000000000'
Hi cool guys,
I hope you are coding so cool!
FYI, in Problem 61065. Convert Hexavigesimal to Decimal in Cody Contest 2025 there's a small issue with the text:
[ ... For example, the text ‘aloha’ would correspond to a vector of values [0 11 14 7 0], thus representing the base-26 value 202982 = 11*263 + 14*262 + 7*26 ...]
The bold section should be:
202982 = 11*26^3 + 14*26^2 + 7*26

If you have solved a Cody problem before, you have likely seen the Scratch Pad text field below the Solution text field. It provides a quick way to get feedback on your solution before submitting it. Since submitting a solution takes you to a new page, any time a wrong solution is submitted, you have to navigate back to the problem page to try it again.
Instead, I use the Scratch Pad to test my solution repeatedly before submitting. That way, I get to a working solution faster without having to potentially go back and forth many times between the problem page and the wrong-solution page.
Here is my approach:
  1. Write a tentative solution.
  2. Copy a test case from the test suite into the Scratch Pad.
  3. Click the Run Function button—this is immediately below the Scratch Pad and above the Output panel and Submit buttons.
  4. If the solution does not work, modify the solution code, sometimes putting in disp() lines and/or removing semicolons to trace what the code is doing. Repeat until the solution passes.
  5. If the solution does work, repeat steps 2 through 4.
  6. Once there are no more test cases to copy and paste, clean up the code, if necessary (delete disp lines, reinstate all semicolons to suppress output). Click the Run Function button once more, just to make sure I did not break the solution while cleaning it up. Then, click the Submit button.
For problems with large test suites, you may find it useful to copy and paste in multiple test cases per iteration.
Hopefully you find this useful.
Title: Looking for Internship Guidance as a Beginner MATLAB/Simulink Learner
Hello everyone,
I’m a Computer Science undergraduate currently building a strong foundation in MATLAB and Simulink. I’m still at a beginner level, but I’m actively learning every day and can work confidently once I understand the concepts. Right now I’m focusing on MATLAB modeling, physics simulation, and basic control systems so that I can contribute effectively to my current project.
I’m part of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) team preparing for the Singapore AUV Challenge (SAUVC). My role is in physics simulation, controls, and navigation, and MATLAB/Simulink plays a major role in that pipeline. I enjoy physics and mathematics deeply, which makes learning modeling and simulation very exciting for me.
On the coding side, I practice competitive programming regularly—
Codeforces rating: ~1200
LeetCode rating: ~1500
So I'm comfortable with logic-building and problem solving. What I’m looking for:
I want to know how a beginner like me can start applying for internships related to MATLAB, Simulink, modeling, simulation, or any engineering team where MATLAB is widely used (including companies outside MathWorks).
I would really appreciate advice from the community on:
  • What skills should I strengthen first?
  • Which MATLAB/Simulink toolboxes are most important for beginners aiming toward simulation/control roles?
  • What small projects or portfolio examples should I build to improve my profile?
  • What is the best roadmap to eventually become a good candidate for internships in this area?
Any guidance, resources, or suggestions would be extremely helpful for me.
Thank you in advance to everyone who shares their experience!

Hi everyone!
I’m Kishen Mahadevan, Senior Product Manager at MathWorks, where I focus on controls and deep learning. I’m excited to be speaking at MATLAB EXPO this year!
In one of my sessions, I’ll share how AI-based reduced order models (ROMs) are transforming engineering workflows—using battery fast charging as an example—making it easier to reuse high-fidelity models for real-time control and deployment.
I’d love to have you join the conversation at the EXPO and right here in the community!
Feel free to drop any questions or thoughts ahead of the event.

From my experience, MATLAB's Deep Learning Toolbox is quite user-friendly, but it still falls short of libraries like PyTorch in many respects. Most users tend to choose PyTorch because of its flexibility, efficiency, and rich support for many mathematical operators. In recent years, the number of dlarray-compatible mathematical functions added to the toolbox has been very limited, which makes it difficult to experiment with many custom networks. For example, svd is currently not supported for dlarray inputs.
This link (List of Functions with dlarray Support - MATLAB & Simulink) lists all functions that support dlarray as of R2026a — only around 200 functions (including toolbox-specific ones). I would like to see support for many more fundamental mathematical functions so that users have greater freedom when building and researching custom models. For context, the core MATLAB mathematics module contains roughly 600 functions, and many application domains build on that foundation.
I hope MathWorks will prioritize and accelerate expanding dlarray support for basic math functions. Doing so would significantly increase the Deep Learning Toolbox's utility and appeal for researchers and practitioners.
Thank you.
