setdiff error in some cases

3 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi I am using setdiff in my code and i am getting 'Improper assignment with rectangular empty matrix' error in a particular case , why and how to solve this? my code is as below:
A = dataset();
A.Location = {'south'};
A.Number = 3;
B= dataset();
B.Location = {'north'};
B.Number = 3;
diff1 = setdiff(A, B); %THIS EXECUTES JUST FINE
C= dataset();
C.Location = {'north'};
C.Number = 3;
C(1, :) = [];
D= dataset();
D.Location = {'west'};
D.Number = 5;
D.Location(2, 1) = {'north'};
diff2 = setdiff(C, D); %THIS EXECUTES JUST FINE
diff3 = setdiff(C, B); %THIS GIVES ME ERROR MENTIONED ABOVE, WHY?

Stephen Cobeldick : Yes I have, and that is how i came up with example here with the code.
per isakson : just trying to delete a row, to end up with one row in the dataset
dpb : I am not sure what you meant by 'element' but i think you are describing the problem correctly that setdiff fails when one is empty and not-empty has one row. it does work though with empty dataset if non-empty ha more than one row. What is TMW?

...What is TMW?...

Neesha, this appears to be a bug when one of the datasets has zero rows and the other has exactly one. A valid edge case to be sure, but somewhat obscure. I will make a note to adress this bug.
