Problem 1305. Creation of 2D Sinc Surface
This Challenge is to efficiently create the Sombrero function of various sizes, resolutions, and frequencies.

Figure Example: Freq=1; XY_max_value=3; Num Rows / Cols 64
Create the 2-D array m(row,col)=sin(pi*R*freq)/(pi*R*freq) where R is the distance from the center of the array. The array is [nrc,nrc] with X(1,1)=Y(1,1)= - xymax and X(nrc,nrc)=Y(nrc,nrc)=xymax.
Input: [xymax,nrc,freq]
Output: [m] an array of size(nrc,nrc) representing the sin(x)/x function
Hints:
Matlab provides excellent functions and array operators to readily create vectors and grids. [ linspace, meshgrid ]
Future:
Polar grid creation to produce Zernike surfaces

Cody, unfortunately, is not recognizing the sinc function of the image processing toolbox. Usage of sinc make for nice tight code
The usage of nan as a solution has required imposing an additional check. The Challenge intent was to use sinc but Cody is sinc-less thus a 0 divide check is required.
