MATLAB: Using switch case with multiple variables (instead of just n, with n1, n2, etc.).

MATLABmultiple variablesswitch case

Hello all,
I'm trying to find a way to run the following code:
x1=4;
x2=4;
y1=4;
y2=4;
switch x1,x2,y1,y2
    case x1>0 && y1<0 && ((y2>0) || (y2<0 && x2<0) || (x2>0 && y2<y1))
        disp('Subtract from 360')
    otherwise 
        disp('Keep as is')
end
and I get this error:
Error: File: untitled5.m Line: 5 Column: 11
Invalid expression. Check for missing multiplication operator, missing or unbalanced delimiters, or
other syntax error. To construct matrices, use brackets instead of parentheses.
I'm not sure if I can use switch case with mutliple variables like that. I'd appreciate it if anyone could lend me hand about this.

You can only switch on one variable. Try this instead
x1=4;
x2=4;
y1=-4;
y2=4;
switch true
    case x1>0 && y1<0 && (y2>0 || y2<0 && x2<0 || x2>0 && y2<y1)
        disp('Subtract from 360')
    otherwise 
        disp('Keep as is')
end
