[matlab]mathworks上的cody challenge题解及一些常用函数的总结(7)

Part 7. Problem 61 - Problem 70.

Problem 61. Find state names that end with the letter A

% Given a list of US states, remove all the states that end with the letter A.
% 
% Example:
% 
%  Input  s1 = 'Alabama Montana Nebraska Vermont Nevada'; 
%  Output s2 is '   Vermont '; 

function s2 = refcn(s1)
s2 = [];
s1 = regexp(s1, 'New \w*a\>|North \w*a\>|West \w*a\>|\w*a\>', 'split');
for k = 1:length(s1)
    s2 = [s2 s1{k}];
end

UPD: 用regexprep改写。

function ans = refcn(s)
	regexprep(s, '\<((New|North|West) )?\w*a\>', '');
end

Problem 62. Elapsed Time

% Given two date strings d1 and d2 of the form yyyy/mm/dd HH:MM:SS (assume hours HH is in 24 hour mode), determine how much time, in decimal hours, separates them. Assume d2 is always later than d1.
% 
% Example:
% 
%  Input d1 = '2010/12/14 12:00:00'
%  Input d2 = '2010/12/14 13:06:36'
%  Output elapsed is 1.11

function elapsed = elapsed_time(d1, d2)
elapsed = 24*(datenum(d2) - datenum(d1));

datenum可以将一个日期格式的字符串转换为距离0/0/0 0:00:00的时间，单位是小时。

Problem 63. Encode Roman Numerals

% Create a function taking a non-negative integer as its parameter and returning a string containing the Roman Numeral representation of that integer.
% 
% By convention, "modern" Roman numerals are written by expressing each digit separately starting with the leftmost digit and skipping any digit with a value of zero.
% 
% Examples
% 
%     If n is 1990 then romStr = 'MCMXC' since 1000=M, 900=CM, 90=XC.
%     If n is 2008 then romStr = 'MMVIII' since 2000=MM, 8=VIII.
%     If n is 1666 then romStr = 'MDCLXVI'.
%     If n is 0 then romStr is empty ([] and '' are both acceptable)
% 
% n will always be an integer between 0 and 3999 (inclusive).
% 
% This problem is adapted from Rosetta Code.

function romStr = dec2rom(n)
roman = {'M', 'CM', 'D', 'C
