I was working on one of the Cody questions, and encountered the wilkinson function. In working to solve the problem I was utilizing the unique() function on the wilkinson array, but the results that are returned are not what I would expect. This occurs while using the 'rows' option, not while just using unique.

x = wilkinson(9);
u = unique(x,'rows');

I would expect u to look something like a 9x3 array with 0, 1, and another integer identified in each row, but instead u comes out as a 9x9 array which is the vertical reflection of x.

Does anybody know why this result is generated?

unique with the rows option does not proceed row by row to give you a list of unique values for the row. If it did do that it would have to return a cell array since the number of unique values could vary from row to row.

The rows option of unique tells you which rows are unique compared to the other rows.
