How to get If Then statements to work on a vector

Hi. (Relatively) new to Matlab.

I try this code

x=[4 5 6]
if x>5
    y=5
else 
    y=x
end

expecting y to return y=4 5 5

but instead it returns y= 4 5 6

What am I doing wrong with this IF statement? How can I do elementwise logical statements? I have searched for this but have found nothing helpful.

Thanks

y = x;
y(x > 5) = 5;

That works. Cool, thanks.
