condition if string in a list of string in matlab

To check if a string is in a list of strings in MATLAB, you can use the ismember function.

Here is an example:

main.m
% define list of strings
list = {'apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date'};

% check if string is in list
string_to_find = 'banana';
tf = ismember(string_to_find, list);
disp(tf) % output: 1 (true)

% check if another string is in list
string_to_find = 'elderberry';
tf = ismember(string_to_find, list);
disp(tf) % output: 0 (false)
328 chars
13 lines

In this example, we have a list of fruits and we are checking if 'banana' and 'elderberry' are in the list using the ismember function. The output is 1 for 'banana', indicating that it is in the list, and 0 for 'elderberry', indicating that it is not in the list.
