How do i write the code for a soft limiter under the following conditions?

I want to write the code for:

A=10^(-3/10).*var(w); % A = 3dB x Power in

if abs(w) > A then plot A if abs(w) < A then plot abs(w)

note: w is my signal, assume it is defined already

I have attempted this myself using if and elseif statements however I am getting errors. I am a bit confused as to where I put the brackets.

A=10^(-3/10).*var(w);                 % A = 3dB x Power in

{

    {
    if abs(w) > A
    plot A
    elseif abs(w) < A
       plot abs(w)
        }

end

}

Please post what you have done and a copy of the error message. Then assisting would be much easier.

plot( min(A, abs(w)) )
