I am writing a simple app using matlab app designer, My code works but I want to make it better. I have too many if else conditions. How can I avoid this? I use matlab app designer, I take 3 values and compare them again and again with different sets

 function buttonpush3Act(app, event)

        a3= app.StrokeLengthmmEditField_13.Value;

        b3=app.StrokeLengthmmEditField_12.Value;

        c3= app.StrokeLengthmmEditField_11.Value;

        d3=app.BuildingDimensionmmEditField_6.Value;

        e3=app.BuildingDimensionmmEditField_5.Value;

        f3=app.BuildingDimensionmmEditField_4.Value;

        g3=app.orPreconfiguredrefnumEditField.Value;

        h3=app.orPreconfiguredrefnumEditField_2.Value;

        i3=app.orPreconfiguredrefnumEditField_3.Value;

        j3=app.ActuatorTypeNumberEditField.Value;

        k3=app.ActuatorTypeNumberEditField_2.Value;
