how do I translate this intruction in matlab?

C={}

C <- C U {S}

W <- W \ {S}

Answer 1

solution:

S=3;%any value of S
W=[1 2 3 4 8]; %aný value of W
C=[];%C={} 
C(end+1)=S%C <-  C  U  {S}
W=setdiff(W,S)%W <-  W  \ {S}

EDIT:

with cells you can do it like that, but if you are going to work with numbers I recommend working with matrices:

S={3};%any value of S
W={1 2 3 4 8}; %aný value of W
C={};%C={} 
C(end+1)=S%C <-  C  U  {S}
for k=1:numel(S)
 W(cellfun(@(x,y) isequal(x,S{k}),W))=[]%W <-  W  \ {S}
end

it doesn't work with cell? w = {1 2 } and S also is cell S={}

[JESUS DAVID ARIZA ROYETH]

here:

S={3};%any value of S
W={1 2 3 4 8}; %aný value of W
C={};%C={} 
C(end+1)=S%C <-  C  U  {S}
for k=1:numel(S)
 W(cellfun(@(x,y) isequal(x,S{k}),W))=[]%W <-  W  \ {S}
end

can do the same as

S <- S \ S{1} ?
