Why bother converting to string when you could compare the numeric value?

actually i want to diplay resultas
wen 2 values are same the resut must be one
wen 2 values are different the result mst be 0
Yes? And why does that require comparing as strings instead of as numeric values?

How can 2 values be equal, if B is only a scalar? Is A not necessarily unique?

for K = 1 : length(A)
results(K) = 0 + strcmp(num2str(A(K)), num2str(B));
end
I still think this is not good programming practice, but you asked and here it is.
