MATLAB: Dots!, Dots!, Dots! What are they doing!

dots in mathematical equationsline continuation indicator

Can some one explain to me what the 'dots', in the equation below, signify? What kind of mathematical operator do they represent?
A(th+91,ph+1,:) = ...
reshape(exp(2*(0+1i)*pi/lambda*sind(th)* ...
(B(:,1)*cosd(ph) + C(:,2)*sind(ph))),...
[1 1 32]);
Thanks
Vijay

... Continuation. Three or more periods at the end of a line continue
the current command or function call onto the next line. Three or
more periods before the end of a line cause MATLAB to ignore the
remaining text on the current line and continue the command or
function call onto the next line. This effectively makes a comment
out of anything on the current line that follows the periods.
