Given two matrices filled with ones and zeros, determine if they share a common row, column entry. These matrices are of identical size.Examples:<pre class="language-matlab">Inputs A = [1 0 0 0 0
 0 1 0 0 0
 0 0 1 0 0
 0 0 0 1 0
 0 0 0 0 1 ] 
</pre><pre> and B = [0 1 0 0 0
 0 0 1 0 0
 0 0 0 1 0
 0 0 0 0 1
 1 0 0 0 0 ]</pre><pre class="language-matlab">Output tf is false
</pre><pre class="language-matlab">Inputs A = [1 1 1 0 1
 1 1 1 1 0
 0 1 1 1 1
 1 0 1 1 1
 1 1 0 1 1 ]
 and B = [0 1 0 0 0
 1 0 0 0 0
 0 0 0 0 1
 0 0 0 1 0
 0 0 1 0 0]
</pre>Output tf is true

I guess zeros are not included as common elements.

Elmar Zander on 3 Mar 2017

Yes. Seems to be a somewhat "ill-posed" problem...

What does "they share a common row, column entry" mean?

Nanfei Cheng on 23 Sep 2020

I think it should be a non-zero common row, column entry.

Chien-Han Su on 4 Nov 2020

Just consider the problem to be "Is there any i, j such that A(i,j) == B(i,j) == 1"

Jeong Suong Yang on 9 Nov 2020

I guess it means intersection of arrays, literally.

Kleber Zuza Nobrega on 20 Apr 2021

Do you mind do explain in a different way? it is not clear for what exactly i should do. It miss 3 problems for me, but in any of them it is not clear the problem itself.

A small addendum to the comment of Chien-Han Su

Just consider the problem to be "Is there any i, j such that A(i,j) == B(i,j) and A(i,j) or B(i,j) ~=0"

It's more difficult to figure out the problem statement.

Re-wording is needed for this problem. Here is how I interpreted the problem:
1. "common row, column entry" means a same value at the same row-column location
2. zeros don't count. You need to check for non-zeros...
