My function works directly as described - but does not manage to pass the test suite ... what is wrong?

%%
function varargout = counter(varargin)
persistent add base
if isempty(varargin)
base = base + add;
varargout{1} = base;
end
if numel(varargin) > 1
add = varargin{2};
base = varargin{1}-add;
end
end

For anyone needing a gentle refresher (like I did) on nested anonymous functions:

David Verrellion 15 Nov 2017

科迪's Problem 24 might be of relevance, but note that so far very few of the correct solutions to the present problem (Problem 44345) have used anonymous functions, whereas all of the correct solutions have used named functions (some nested, some not).

David Verrellion 15 Nov 2017

Correction: there is a solution here (Solution 1308690) which only uses an anonymous function, without calling a named user function.

Either (or both) of the following pages may be of interest in tackling this problem: //www.tianjin-qmedu.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/nested-functions.html and //www.tianjin-qmedu.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/share-data-between-workspaces.html .

You can also use class definition to solve it, amazing!

the tests can be strengthened a bit, to allow multiple counters

g = counter(1,2);
h = counter(3,5);
断言(isequal ([1 3 5 3 8 13], [g g g () () () h() h() h()]));

persistent and function handle?

Due to the use of persistent variables and the conditional statements used, this solution would fail if the test suite were modified to include two tests in a row with the same increment value.

I just learned how to use the combined fx handle and nested fx!
