equal method to setxor for tables in matlab

The built-in setxor function in MATLAB doesn't support tables. However, you can achieve the same functionality as setxor for tables using the following approach:

main.m
% Suppose you have two tables A and B with identical variable names
% Define a cell array with the names of the common variables
varNames = A.Properties.VariableNames;

% Get the rows of A that are not in B
[~, idx] = setdiff(A{:, varNames}, B{:, varNames}, 'rows');
A_notB = A(idx, :);

% Get the rows of B that are not in A
[~, idx] = setdiff(B{:, varNames}, A{:, varNames}, 'rows');
B_notA = B(idx, :);

% Combine the two tables
result = [A_notB; B_notA];
459 chars
15 lines

This code first identifies the common variables in the two tables and then uses setdiff to find the rows that are unique to each table. Finally, the unique rows are concatenated to form the final result table.
