Hi
I have the following column:
1
1
0
0
0
1
0
1
0
1
I want to campare rows value one by one with the next row ( first with second, second with third ... and ninth with tenth) and check if it changes for 1 to 0, 0 to 0, 0 to 1 and 1 to 1. For each of these conditions, I want to count them. I tried using loop and diff or sign and equations but I could not work out because the results will be similar for two conditions.

You were close when using diff. You need to think what characterizes all four combinations. The code below should be what you need.
v=[1;1;0;0;0;1;0;1;0;1];
d=diff(v);
u=v(1:(end-1));%shrink by 1 to make it the same size as d
clc
%if [0;0]
%then diff==0, v==0
L= d==0 & u==0;
fprintf('[0 0]: %d\n',sum(L))
%if [0;1]
%then diff==-1
L= d==-1;
fprintf('[0 1]: %d\n',sum(L))
%if [1;0]
%then diff==1
L= d==1;
fprintf('[1 0]: %d\n',sum(L))
%if [1;1]
%then diff==0, v==1
L= d==0 & u==1;
fprintf('[1 1]: %d\n',sum(L))

Another option:
a = [1;1;0;0;0;1;0;1;0;1];
b = diff(a);
b(~b) = 2*a(~b);
sol = splitapply(@numel,b,b+2) %Ordered as [1,0],[0,0],[0,1],[1,1]
sol =
3 2 3 1

With your second column it should work fine, because you have all the possible combinations.

I think this is the reason:
I think if one condition result is 0 then I will get the error.
