Help comparing two matrices

so I need to compare two matrices but I need to set the values the final compared matrice will have... so for example if one value is higher than the other it should display 1; if it is lower -1 and finally if it is equal 0. I have been messing with this but cant figure it out. I was told the code is the following:
if
C = zeros(size(m1));
C(m1>m2) = 1; % fill in 1 wherever m1 is greater than m2
C(m2>m1) = -1; % fill in -1 wherever m2 is greater
but i dont know how to get this into a working function so id you could help me...thanks

Remove the if line and it should work perfectly as you've written it, as long as m1 and m2 are the same size.

sign(m1-m2)
% Example
m1=[1 4;10 20]
m2=[0 2;10 40]
out=sign(m1-m2)

but what im looking for is working with m-file with the shape of:
function [...]=comparaMatrices(m1, m2)
function out=comparaMatrices(m1, m2)
out=sign(m1-m2)
