"at most" in MATLAB

Hey Everyone,

Imagine I have a matrix like 'check'. I want to see if at mostat most one of these three numbers in each columns in 'check' is exactly equal to i or j, my codes run one part of my codes (part two), and otherwise, when 2 out of three number in each column is exacyly equal to i and j run the other part of my code(part one). A small example is like this:

check =

1 4

2 5

3 6

i=2

j=3

Then part one of codes run;

i=5

j=3

run part two.

How can I code that?

Ill really appreciate your help.

i can NOT be equal to j.

Thank you

This code should help:

check =[1 4;2 5;3 6];
%i=2;j=3;
i=5;j=3;
matches_per_col=sum(check==i | check==j,1);
if max(matches_per_col)==2
    disp('part one')
else
    disp('part two')
end
