Sort means ascending or descending or both? Not clear

Geoffrey Akien on 7 Jul 2013

I agree! The code is significantly different for those possible cases.

Unfortunately, way too easy!

I agree it's not clear ... but
y = ~var(nonzeros(sign(diff(x))));
works for both ascending/descending cases.
(The test suite clarifies that ascending is the intended case)

y = ~var(nonzeros(sign(diff(x)))); amazing~ ！nice idea

There is a sort array command in MATLAB.

if you are not familiar with array, will be difficult

The solution "y = issorted(x);" with a metric of 12 is not the leading solution. "Fair Play" is something unknown to cheaters!
