MATLAB Function Reference

setxor

Set exclusive-or of two vectors

Syntax

c = setxor(a,b)
c = setxor(A,B,'rows')
[c,ia,ib] = setxor(...)

Description

c = setxor(a,b) returns the values that are not in the intersection of a and b. The resulting vector is sorted. a and b can be cell arrays of strings.

c = setxor(A,B,'rows') when A and B are matrices with the same number of columns returns the rows that are not in the intersection of A and B.

[c,ia,ib] = setxor(...) also returns index vectors ia and ib such that c is a sorted combination of the elements c = a(ia) and c = b(ib) or, for row combinations, c = a(ia,:) and c = b(ib,:).

Examples

a = [-1 0 1 Inf -Inf NaN];
b = [-2 pi 0 Inf];
c = setxor(a,b)

c =
      -Inf   -2.0000   -1.0000    1.0000    3.1416       NaN
