In this lecture we discuss more about programming in Matlab. One main section in programming is flow control. There are many flow control commands in MATLAB. In this lecture we discuss the conditional flow control commands.
Conditional statements are commands that allows MATLAB to decide whether or not to execute some code that follows the statement

Conditional statements use relational operators like ==,~=,>,
The basic syntax is


žIf the conditional expression is true, MATLAB runs the lines of code that are between the line with if and the line with end.
If the conditional expression is false, MATLAB skips the code between if and the line with else and runs the code up to end.
