break out of if statement to else

Hello everyone,

I would like to achieve the following:

if condition1
  statements...
  if condition2
      break % move to else
  end
  statements...
else
  statements...
end

Of course, I could simply put the statements in the else block into the nested if (i.e. if condition2). But is there any other way/command to do this?

No such capability in MATLAB. I am sure you can adjust your code flow to achieve your goal without jumping around the code, which is not a good practice.

The "break" function only works for "for" and "while" loop in MATLAB.
