For example, let’s convert the above code to a switch statement. We can also use a switch statement instead of a ladder of the ifelseif statement. The ifelseif statement can be used if we only want to check if the first statement is not true.įor example, consider, we want to check a value if it’s less than 0 and if it’s equal to -5 or not.

In the output, two texts are displayed because the input value is greater than zero, and also it’s equal to 5. In this case, we can use the nested ifelse statement. Now, consider, after checking if the value is greater than or less than 0, we also want to check if the value is equal to 5 or not, and if the value is equal to 5, we will display ValueIsFive text. If it’s false, the code inside the else statement will be executed. In the case of the ifelse statement, if the condition is true, then the code inside the if statement will be executed. The LessThan text is displayed in the output because the value is not greater than 0. In this case, we can use the ifelse statement. Now consider, we want to display LessThan text if the value is not greater than 0. In the output, the text is displayed because the value is greater than 0. For example, consider we want to display the text GreaterThan only if the value is greater than 0. We can use the or operator if we want the code to execute only if one or more conditions are true. We can use the and operator if we want the code to execute only if two or more conditions are true. The logical operators are utilized to combine two or more conditions. The logical operator includes the and operator and or operator. The arithmetic operators include the less than, greater than, equal to, less than, and equal to, greater than, and equal to. To define a condition, we can use arithmetic and logical operators. The code inside the if statement will only be executed if the condition is true. We can use the if statement if we only want the code to run at a specific expression. Like other programming languages, MATLAB also provides many conditional statements like the if, if-else, ifelseif, nested ifelse, and switch statement.įirst of all, let’s talk about the if statement. This tutorial will discuss defining the conditions for code execution using the conditional statements in MATLAB.
