Problem 71. Read a column of numbers and interpolate missing data

This solution actually fails on the assertion when using the following test (my own). It happens because of computational precision produced from using linspace() // out by about 0.222 * 1.0e-15.
s = { ...
'Day Temp'
' 1 1.3'
' 5 9999'
' 6 9999'
' 5 9999'
' 6 9999'
' 2 1.12'
' 3 17'
' 4 16'
' 5 9999'
' 6 9999'
' 7 19'};
t_correct = [1.3 1.264 1.228 1.1920 1.156 1.12 17 16 17 18 19];
assert(isequal(read_and_interp(s),t_correct));
