How to Write Each Each Expression in a Separate Row

What is the best way to write every expression beneath each other (not in a single row)
if A == 1 && B == 2 && C == 3
D = 4
end
if A == 1 &&
B == 2 &&
C == 3
D = 4
end

You can use three dots (ellipsis) to extend MATLAB code onto the next line.
if A == 1 && B == 2 && C == 3
D = 4
end
becomes something like (according to your preferences for where to break the lines)
if A == 1 && ...
B == 2 && ...
C == 3
D = 4
end
I hope this helps
if A == 1
if B == 2
if C == 3
D = 4;
end
end
end
Use the ... continuation operator.
It is matter of taste as to whether you prefer
if A == 1 && ...
B == 2 && ...
C == 3
D = 4
end
or
if A == 1 ...
&& B == 2 ...
&& C == 3
D = 4
end
I tend to prefer the operator on the end of the line, but there is no right or wrong about that.
I don’t know the reason you would want to do that for that particular section of code. To continue code on multiple lines, you need to use the continuation operator, ‘...’.
See the documentation for Continue Long Statements on Multiple Lines for details.
