MATLAB: If condition by comparing value with vector

Question

Hi,

I am trying to generate an if condition by comparing an value with a whole vector of values. If any is true, the if condition should execute.

In this example g should be true:

a = [1 2 3 4 5];
b = [8 9 10];
c = 10; 
if c == a(:) || c == b(:)
    g = true;
else
    g = false; 
end

I am sure there is a simple solution, I just dont know it.

Thanks everyone!

Answer 1

Use ismember

a = [1 2 3 4 5];
b = [8 9 10];
c = 10; 
if ismember(c,a)||ismember(c,b)
    g = "true";
else
    g = "false"; 
end
disp(g)
