    \$\begingroup\$ +1 for being the first non-esoteric language in a challenge very suited to esolangs. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 5, 2017 at 21:56

    \$\begingroup\$ A big +1, not for using Octave (it's quite straight forward), but for golfing this very well, and using _ as a variable! I had no idea it was possible... Nice! \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 5, 2017 at 22:42
