Problem 55. Counting Sequence

wow, last test case is so fun!

This only took me a few minutes until I saw Case 5 haha! Fun and mind boggling

I’m pretty new to programming and took on the cody counting sequence problem. My sample code is below. I wasn’t going for the most compact code and wanted the code to be generic to solve any size input vector X. My code does work, but when I submit it in the problem section, I get an error running the test scripts? Not a wrong result, just errors. Comments - suggestions? Yes, I know the codes messy. lol.

x =[ 5, 5, 2, 1,1, 1,1,3];
n = numel(x);
seqy = zeros(2*n,1);
seqpos=1;
seqcount=1;
i=1;

while i < n ;

if x(i) == x( i+1);

seqcount = seqcount+1;

else
seqy(seqpos)=seqcount;

seqpos = seqpos+1 ;

seqy(seqpos) = x(i);

seqpos = seqpos+1;

seqcount =1;

end
i = i+1;

end
seqy(seqpos) = seqcount;
seqy(seqpos+1)=x(i);
seqy;

c =numel(seqy);
h = 1;
p =0;

while h < c ;

if seqy(h) ~= 0;

else
p=h;

b =trimdata(seqy,p-1);
break

end
h= h+1;
end

y = b;
y % final result
