How to copy and paste the code with matlab layout when asking question here?

When I copy and paste the code here, it is like a simple text which is not easy to follow. How can I paste it here with matlab layout?

Look in the toolbar at the section marked "CODE", and click on the icon that looks like a > symbol. That will give you a code entry area that you can paste code into.

Alternately, you can paste your code in to a regular area, and then select it with your mouse and click the > icon to have it converted to a code section.

I use an android smartphone. I want to copy code from a separate script into the one I am currently working on. How do I go about or alternatively, are smrtphones compatible to perform this task?

At present the editor you get for mobile is an older editor.

You can paste in code and then highlight it with long-press and drag the boundary handles that show up. Then press the {} of the toolbar.

Alternatively, you can take advantage of formatting rules. The input is examined by paragraphs, where a paragraph is a group of lines delimited by an empty or all-blank line (or start or end of all input). If the first character of the paragraph is a space then the entire paragraph is treated as pre-formatted code, except that iirc one or two leading space per line may be trimmed. (Technically there is a difference between the case where the paragraph begins with one space or two spaces, but it can be tough to find the difference.)
