if statements, setting large numbers

I have set up a function where I get a vectors size returned in [a b] format. Now I want to be able to set up a test in the form of an if statement, where if a>5 and b<5 I get back true. Any advice? Thanks!

The matlabish way:

>> test = @(a,b) ( a>5 & b<5 );
>> test( [1;6],[6;1] )
ans =
     0
     1

>> test(6,6)
ans =
     0
>> test(6,4)
ans =
     1

>> test( [2:7],[7:-1,2] )
ans =
     0     0     0     0     1     1

Why does the title contain "setting large numbers"?
