categorical: TF = iscategory (C, catnames)

Source Code: categorical

Example: 1

iscategory tests whether names are categories of the array — independently of whether any element currently takes those values.

 C = categorical ({'M'; 'S'}, {'S', 'M', 'L'})
C =
  2x1 categorical array

    M    
    S
 iscategory (C, {'M', 'L', 'XL'})
ans =

  1  1  0

M and L are declared categories; XL is not.
