How do I check if an entire array matches the elements of another array (different size)?

Hi!

I'm making a bingo game in which I want to display the name of the winner in a Edit Field.

I have already saved the card elements (numbers) for every person participating in the game as public variables. For example:

person1 = ([3,10,12,27,31,37,46,48,56,63,66,71,79,82,86]);

person2 = ([1,3,13,22,34,38,41,42,55,61,67,72,78,81,85]);

etc..

I'm using randperm function to call 90 numbers and storing it as in: app.num = randperm(90);

In the game, someone wins if all the numers of the array are called in sequence from the randperm function.

How can I do this by storing the sequence of the randperm function numbers in an array everytime a button is pushed and call the winner whenever someone wins?

Numbering variables like that is a sign that you are doing something wrong. Putting meta-data (e.g. pseudo-indices or "their real names") into variable names is a sign that you are doing something wrong. Trying to access those individual variables will force you into writing slow, complex, buggy code that is difficult to debug:

The simple, efficient, recommended approach is to use indexing into one array (which could be a container array, e.g. a cell array, a table, or a structure).

That was actually an example...

I'm using their real names as variable names.

But thanks anyway! Learned something new.

What you need is the ismember function.

if true
  [Lia,Locb] = ismember(person1, person2); 
Allperson1inperson2 = all(Lia);
end

This check that values in person1 exist in person2
