comparing the magnitude order

[CdeMills]

Hello,

I would like to compare if two numbers are of the same order of magnitude. I
implement this as
magn =@(x, y) max (x, y)/min (x, y);

But there are redundancies: if x is > y, then the expression becomes x/y,
else y/x. Is it possible to introduce tests inside function handle ?
magn=@(x, y) if (x > y) x/y else y/x endif
is accepted but doesn't return anything.

Regards

Pascal
