Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Write a complex M-file with both syntax and run-time errors deliberately introduced. Outline the steps you would take to debug it, detailing each action while explaining its purpose.

💡 Hint: Think about common coding pitfalls in MATLAB.

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine you are debugging an M-file that works under some conditions but fails under others. Describe how you would identify and fix these intermittent run-time errors.

💡 Hint: What tools can help track variable changes over time?
