MATLAB: If statement with 2 commands

double command if statement analysing one condition

I have a 1 x 3 matrix (DMS).
Values are [26, 50, 60]
Code is:
if DMS(1,3) == 60
     DMS (1,2) = DMS (1,2) + 1 & DMS(1,3) == 0
 else 
  end
The purpose is to roll over (add 1) to the second elements value and set the third elements value to 0.
During runtime I am getting a value of [26, 0, 60].
What is wrong with my coding of the if statement for the desired values to be returned?

Best Answer

Your code should be:
   if DMS(1,3) == 60
     DMS (1,2) = DMS (1,2) + 1;
     DMS(1,3) = 0;
   end
The '&' operator is not to be used as "do this AND do this". It functions only as a logical operator such as (x<10)&(x>3) meaning that it is true if x is less than ten and greater than 3.
Also the '==' is not an assignment symbol. It is another logical operator. The expression x==5 is true whenever x is exactly equal to 5.
