I solved this question with an if condition and the size of my solution was 39. I found the size of the leading solution to be 14. This is the leading solution: function ans = in_prod(x,y)
"no";
try
x*y;
end
How is this even correct? I tried to paste the same solution instead of mine and the assertion failed. z is not mentioned anywhere in this code. Can someone enlighten me?

If the output x*y is not assigned to any variable, MATLAB assigns it to the variable ans by default. In this solution, z has been replaced with ans in the function definition to return the unassigned output.

I am confused... this ought to work:
function z = in_prod(x,y)
if size(x,2) == size(y,1)
z = x * y
else
z = "The inner dimensions are " + size(x) + " and " + size(y) + ". Matrix multiplication is not possible"
end

This is dot product, not inner product, as the title suggests. They are not exactly the same.

function z = in_prod(x,y)
if length(x(1,:)) == length(y(:,1))
z = x*y;
else
z = "Have you checked the inner dimensions?"
end
end

Please, this code is working on Matlab but it did not work here , I think no problem with it
if size(x,2)==size(y,1)
z=x*y;
else
z = ['The inner dimensions are ', num2str(size(x,2)) ,' and ' ,num2str(size(y,1)), ' Matrix multiplication is not possible'];
end
display(z)
