How to create a manhattan function?

Hi

I need to use the manhattan function to calculate the distance of the elements of a matrix that is disorganized to an matrix that is organized. I tried to use a command I saw here in the forum, but it did not work.

  mandist (disorganized matrix, organized matrix);

Can someone help me?

Igor - please clarify what you mean by I tried to use a command I saw here in the forum, but it did not work. Which command did you use? Where did you get this command/code from? What error did you observe (if any)? Please be as descriptive as possible.

Hi Geoff, I tried to use the command mandist (disordered matrix, ordered matrix) , based on the link (https://www.mathworks.com/help/deeplearning/ref/mandist.html?s_tid=srchtitle). However, when executing, it gave this error:

error: 'mandist' undefined near line 21 column 11
error: called from
    manhattan at line 21 column 9
    test at line 6 column 1

Then I tried to use this command:

dist = sum(abs(State-adj));

Where State is the disordered matrix and adj is the ordered matrix. However, the function is returning a 1: 3 matrix, and I want the distance from each element to the target state.

These matrices represent an 8-piece set and wish to know the distance from the current state (disordered matrix) to the objective state (ordered matrix) using manhattan heuristics.

Could you understand?
