I would like to know if my function is correct

Hello,

I would like to know if this function is right. I have a dataset with 4 columns , the first and second column are the x,y coordinates for the participants locomotion, the third and fourth columns are the X,Y coordinates for the targets (total targets =9, ). I would like to know if the function will tell me whether the participant reached a target or several targets during de locomotion. The aim is to create a column with the result (x>=X && x<=X+w )&&( y>=Y && y<=Y+h). Thanks

w=0.2;%width

h= 0.2;% height

Reach_target=b'

data= [data Reach_target];

function b= proof(x,X,y,Y)

b=[];

 for i= 1:length(x)

        for ii= 1:length(X)

          if x(i)>=X(ii) && x(i)<=X(ii)+w;
              d= 1;
          end
        end
    end

    for e= 1:length(y)
       for ee= 1:length(Y)
       if y(e)>=Y(ee) && y(e)<=Y(ee)+h;
          c=1;
       end 
        end
    end
    b=d+c;
end

You actually need not go through the whole for loop to do this. First off, I assume the number of entries in x is equal to the number of entries in X (and the same for y and Y). You can simply use Boolean logic here. For an "and" statement, you multiply, and for an "or" statement, you add.

 d1 = x>=X;
 d2 = x<=X+w;
 b1 = y>=Y;
 b2 = y<=Y+h;
 out = d1*d2*b1*b2;
