Partial "visual" Matching of matrices

[masteripper]

Suppose you have 3 matrices :
A =
1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1
1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1
1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1

B =
0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1
1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1

C =
1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1
1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1
1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1
1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1

[ ... ] in this case Matrix A is more matching to Matrix C in comparison to B.

Hi!

My approach would be comparing matrix A and matrix B, element by element, and keep the number of elements in common in a variable, named, let's say commonElementsAB.

Then, I would do the same, comparing matrix A and matrix C, element by element, and keep the number of elements in common in a variable, named, let's say commonElementsAC.

After that, I would compare the value of commonElementsAB with the value of commonElementsAC. If the value of commonElementsAB is greater than the value of commonElementsAC, that means that Matrix A is more matching to Matrix B than to Matrix C. If the value of commonElementsAC is greater than the value of commonElementsAB, that means that Matrix A is more matching to Matrix C than to Matrix B.

All the best,

I am thinking that this might be slower...but thanks for replying.
