Determine inequality

Syntax

描述

example

A~=Breturns a logical array or a table of logical values with elements set to logical1(true) where inputsAandBare not equal; otherwise, the element is logical0(false). The test compares both real and imaginary parts of numeric arrays.nereturns logical1(true) whereAorBhaveNaNor undefinedcategoricalelements.

ne(A,B)is an alternative way to executeA ~= B, but is rarely used. It enables operator overloading for classes.

Examples

collapse all

Create two vectors containing both real and imaginary numbers, then compare the vectors for inequality.

A = [1+i 3 2 4+i]; B = [1 3+i 2 4+i]; A ~= B
ans =1x4 logical array1 1 0 0

Thenefunction tests both real and imaginary parts for inequality, and returns logical1(true) where one or both parts are not equal.

创建一个特征向量。

M ='magenta';

Test for the presence of a specific character using~=.

M ~='q'
ans =1x7 logical array1 1 1 1 1 1 1

The value of logical1(true) indicates the absence of the character'n'. The character is not present in the vector.

Create a categorical array with two values:'heads'and'tails'.

A = categorical({'heads''heads''tails';'tails''heads''tails'})
A =2x3 categoricalheads heads tails tails heads tails

Find all values not in the'heads'category.

A ~='heads'
ans =2x3 logical array0 0 1 1 0 1

A value of logical1(true) indicates a value not in the category. SinceAonly has two categories,A ~= 'heads'returns the same answer asA == 'tails'.

Compare the rows ofAfor inequality.

A(1,:) ~= A(2,:)
ans =1x3 logical array1 0 0

A value of logical1(true) indicates where the rows have unequal category values.

Many numbers expressed in decimal text cannot be represented exactly as binary floating numbers. This leads to small differences in results that the~=operator reflects.

Perform a few subtraction operations on numbers expressed in decimal and store the result inC.

C = 0.5-0.4-0.1
C = -2.7756e-17

With exact decimal arithmetic,Cshould be equal toexactly0. Its small value is due to the nature of binary floating-point arithmetic.

CompareCto0for inequality.

C ~= 0
ans =logical1

Compare floating-point numbers using a tolerance,tol, instead of using~=.

tol = eps(0.5); abs(C-0) > tol
ans =logical0

The two numbers,Cand0, are closer to one another than two consecutive floating-point numbers near0.5. In many situations,Cmay act like0.

Compare the elements of twodatetimearrays for inequality.

Create twodatetimearrays in different time zones.

t1 = [2014,04,14,9,0,0;2014,04,14,10,0,0]; A = datetime(t1,'TimeZone','America/Los_Angeles'); A.Format ='d-MMM-y HH:mm:ss Z'
A =2x1 datetime14-Apr-2014 09:00:00 -0700 14-Apr-2014 10:00:00 -0700
t2 = [2014,04,14,12,0,0;2014,04,14,12,30,0]; B = datetime(t2,'TimeZone','America/New_York'); B.Format ='d-MMM-y HH:mm:ss Z'
B =2x1 datetime14-Apr-2014 12:00:00 -0400 14-Apr-2014 12:30:00 -0400

Check where elements inAandBare not equal.

A~=B
ans =2x1 logical array0 1

Since R2023a

Create two tables and compare them. The row names (if present in both) and variable names must be the same, but do not need to be in the same orders. Rows and variables of the output are in the same orders as the first input.

A = table([1;2],[3;4],VariableNames=["V1","V2"],RowNames=["R1","R2"])
A=2×2 tableV1 V2 __ __ R1 1 3 R2 2 4
B = table([4;2],[3;1],VariableNames=["V2","V1"],RowNames=["R2","R1"])
B=2×2 tableV2 V1 __ __ R2 4 3 R1 2 1
A ~= B
ans=2×2 tableV1 V2 _____ _____ R1 false true R2 true false

Input Arguments

collapse all

Operands, specified as scalars, vectors, matrices, multidimensional arrays, tables, or timetables. InputsAandBmust either be the same size or have sizes that are compatible (for example,Ais anM-by-Nmatrix andBis a scalar or1-by-Nrow vector). For more information, seeCompatible Array Sizes for Basic Operations.

You can compare numeric inputs of any type, and the comparison does not suffer loss of precision due to type conversion.

  • If one input is acategoricalarray, the other input can be acategoricalarray, a cell array of character vectors, or a single character vector. A single character vector expands into a cell array of character vectors of the same size as the other input. If both inputs are ordinalcategoricalarrays, they must have the same sets of categories, including their order. If both inputs arecategoricalarrays that are not ordinal, they can have different sets of categories. SeeCompare Categorical Array Elementsfor more details.

  • If one input is adatetimearray, the other input can be adatetimearray, a character vector, or a cell array of character vectors.

  • If one input is adurationarray, the other input can be adurationarray or a numeric array. The operator treats each numeric value as a number of standard 24-hour days.

  • If one input is a string array, the other input can be a string array, a character vector, or a cell array of character vectors. The corresponding elements ofAandBare compared lexicographically.

输入的表or timetables must meet the following conditions:(since R2023a)

  • If an input is a table or timetable, then all its variables must have data types that support the operation.

  • If only one input is a table or timetable, then the other input must be a numeric or logical array.

  • If both inputs are tables or timetables, then:

    • Both inputs must have the same size, or one of them must be a one-row table.

    • Both inputs must have variables with the same names. However, the variables in each input can be in a different order.

    • If both inputs are tables and they both have row names, then their row names must be the same. However, the row names in each input can be in a different order.

    • If both inputs are timetables, then their row times must be the same. However, the row times in each input can be in a different order.
