Hello
I have a problem, here is a simple version of my question. Imagine I have two matrix, I want to compare each line of matrixs to find if there is similarity. then if all the rows are the same, it is no need to enter the if loop, but if at least one row is different it is needed to enter the if loop.
A=[6,6.5;6,9]
B=[6,6;2,3;8,7;6,9]
% compare A and B row by roow
% if there is similarity not enter the if loop
% if there is at least one line of A is not the same as B enter if
if %compare A and B line by line, if at least one row id different
%%
end

What you are trying to do is not perfectly clear to me, but I'm confident that the ismember command is what you need.

Thanks for you comment, Yes I accept, I try to make it clear since it is in the middle of code and i try to make it as clear as possible.

if is not a looping statement, it's a branching statement. loops are started by for or while.
Anyway,
if any(ismember(A, B, 'rows')) %if any of the rows of A are in B
%do something
else
%do something else
end

The expression
all(ismember(A,B,'row'))
will be true if every row of A is represented in B, and false if not.
