Number of zeros in a matrix

I need to create a function where I have a matrix and the function returns the number of zeros in that matrix. I need to do this using the if condition.
Then write in a .txt file which columns had more than 12 zeros.
Can someone help me out with this?
Thank you very much.

The number of zeros in the matrix A is:
sum(~A(:))
So we can make this a function:
f = @(x) sum(~x(:));
Now test it:
x = [1 2 3;0 0 0;3 0 9]
f(x)

M = [1 0 1 1;1 1 1 0]
fid = fopen('mytext.txt','wt')
fprintf(fid,'%i ',find(sum(~M) >= 1))
fclose(fid)
