You mix two things: functions not allowed on Cody for safety reasons (evalin, assignin...) and toolbox functions not available (imfindcircles, ocr ...).
I am curious to know how you can make the difference. :.)

Matthew Eicholtz on 21 Sep 2015

I realize there is a mix. That is part of the reason I created the problem.

Jean-Marie Sainthillier on 21 Sep 2015

Yes, but if you update the test suite with other Cody restricted functions (str2func, evalc) ?

With this mix a player can't submit a permanent solution. It's bothers me.

Jean-Marie Sainthillier on 21 Sep 2015

But maybe I am boring...
Interesting problem anyway.

Matthew Eicholtz on 22 Sep 2015

Point well taken. I will not update the test suite until I verify that a permanent solution exists.

'fwbmjo!bttjhojo!fwbm'-1? Did you think I would read the file and search for strings like 'eval'?

Not you but Cody maybe ...
