MATLAB: Using IF to remove upper and lower boundaries

Question

Within a FOR loop, I can successfully implement a single IF statement to prevent either the upper or lower values from being manipulated like so:

     if (theta1 > 0.7297)
      continue
       end

However every attempt I have made to remove both upper and lower values has failed. Can anyone explain what is wrong with this:

   if (theta1 > 0.7297)
      else (theta1 < -0.7297)
     continue
   end

Thanks.

Answer 1

So you want to continue if theta1 > 0.7297 or if theta < -0.7297? Then you could test for both in the if statement:

if (theta1 > 0.7297) || (theta1 < -0.7297)
      continue
end
