If we do the following,

function [z] = a(x,y)
syms x y
If I do the following code,
if x>5
    z=x+y
else
    z=x-y
end
end

then I hope to have something like (as in Mathematica)

z=IF[x>5,x+y,x-y]

I do not insist on having the exact same code as above. I am flexible. I just want to have "just one line" which expresses how input of function results in output when there are if in the code.

Is this possible?

Matlab does not support tertiary operator i.e. a = b ? c : d. However there is a hacky way of getting the same result. 

z = (x>5)*(x+y) + (x<=5)*(x-y)
