Embedded if loop in for loop

Hello! I have a 120x2 matrix and would need to match for every row, if there is a common number that appears in both columns. Eventually, I want my results to show the common number(s) that appears in every row (if any) in a cell. Right now, the if loop accounts for all the numbers in the box i.e for the second row, it is comparing [1;2;3;6;8;9] and [9], and the if loop will give me a over =0. However, 9 is a common number in both columns, and I want it to be reflected. How may I code for this?

Thank you! :) attached Spfcfef for ease too

for n = 1:120
    if cell2mat(Spfcfef(n,1)) == cell2mat(Spfcfef(n,2))
        over = 1
    else 
        over = 0
    end 
end

Hi,

The first column is an array and you are checking if an element is present in it for such cases you need to use ismember function.

Hope this helps!
