How would I create my own 'unique' function without using the built in unique?

I understand that the built in Unique function is stating that whatever function you define as unique is the same data set but without repetitions.
should I create a function file such as
function[unique,c] = myuni_1(A)
rows(A)= size(A,1);
columns(A) = size(A,2);
and then proceed to define the rows and columns as itself? I'm a bit confused here.

Why would you want to do this? Is this a homework assignment?
My TA mentioned my professor may ask a question like this on my final exam and I would like to be prepared for anything. Also, my own curiosity is driving me to ask it.
I've looked at the function file on Matlab and it is a very long code. I'm curious if this is even possible with an alternative method that uses less code.
What exactly should your function do? Which types of input are expected? What is the 2nd output c? Please do not let us guess the details.
Notice that "rows(A)= size(A,1);" is no valid Matlab syntax.

A short version:
function U = myUnique(A)
[As, SV] = sort(A(:));
UV(SV) = ([1; diff(As)] ~= 0); % [1, As(2:nA) - As(1:nA-1)];
U = A(UV);

works like a charm, i was using 3 different for loops and trying to sort each one by the size of A but got nothing.
Thank you friend!

Suppose you have two "bags", A and B. Start with A empty.
If B is empty, you are done and A holds the unique values. Otherwise, take one one item, C, out of B (removing it from B). Is there already a copy of C in A? If there is, then throw away C. Otherwise, add C to A. Now restart this paragraph.
