At one time or another, we all had to memorize boring times tables. 5 times 5 is 25. 5 times 6 is 30. 12 times 12 is way more than you think.
With MATLAB, times tables should be easy! Write a function that outputs times tables up to the size requested.
Example:
Input n = 5
Output m is [ 1 2 3 4 5
2 4 6 8 10
3 6 9 12 15
4 8 12 16 20
5 10 15 20 25 ]Solution Stats

it would seem that the recently added test#2 is incorrectly defined

Apparently the Cody Team can't make a times table. :-p

For those who wish to solve anyway: Make a correct solution that works with tests 1 and 3, and then hardcode an if with n==3 at the end to make solution 2 work

Sorry for the typo, I just fixed the test#2.

Please help me out,cant find out the error
bainhome

I think the error is pretty clear. line3: column=1:1:n; line4:row=1:1:n.
besides, 1:n just fine, the "1" in the middle is quite not necessary.

what if i use 1:n and 1:1:n?both are same right? The step size is 1 for both the case. Tried what you said but Test suit fails again
bainhome
on 9 Jun 2018
two equal sign in line 3&4 are missed: this is fatal error, fix that, in my computer seems work fine. and 1:n is another problem, it can pass even you don't change it. nontheless, 1 in the middle is redundant. it CAN be removed, not like you have to.

On my matlab this code works for all the test, but here it fails, why?
m = reshape(1:n^2,[n,n])';
Moreover How can I see better solutions of the problem that I solved, so I can improve my Matlab skills?
Thank you very much for your attention

Test solution 2 is incorrect, should be:
y_correct = [1 2 3; 2 4 6; 3 6 9]
current solution isn't even square...

The second test should say y_correct = [1 2 3; 2 4 6;3 6 9];

You've done nothing wrong; the solution to Test Suite #2 is incorrect.

test # 2 is wrong, as it should be a 3x3 matrix,
y_correct for x=3 is:
[1 2 3; 2 4 6; 3 6 9]

Test nr. 2 seems not right: the soluton for x= 3 should be:
y_correct = [1 2 3; 2 4 6; 3 6 9]

l just wonder is it a real boring thing (times table),that we need to program it,for exam.12*12=144,almost everybody who atteded high school can answer,2^10=1024;25*25=625,13*13=169;14*14=196;15*15=225;it is such an easy thing that we needn't to make a table,we can calculate it out once we see such an multiplication

function m = timestables(n)
for i=1:n
for j=1:n
m(i,j)=i*j;
end
end
%apparently this doesn't work even though MatLab says it works for any size

After the solution I come up with ends up in the middle of the graph I feel disappointed. But then I learn there's a command that does something I didn't know about and I feel better about myself because I learned a new command!
