How to vectorize this function?

Hello,
i'm new to matlab so this could have a really easy solution but a google search didn't solve my question.
this is the function:
function [angle]= give_angle(position)
if position <= -2 && position > -4
angle = 11.31;
else
angle = 0;
end
end
now if "position" would be a vector lets say: position = -2:0.1:2 it gives the error: Operands to the and && operators must be convertible to logical scalar values.
I tried to replace && with & but then this error comes up: Output argument "angle" (and maybe others) not assigned during call to "give_angle".
All help will be appreciated!

Hello Quinten, a standard way to do this is to make a vector of zeros the same length as 'position', then make a logical index vector of 1's and 0's for whether the condition is met or not, then change the angle when the condition is met.
angle = zeros(size(position)); % automatically satisfies 'not met' condition
ind = position <= -2 & position > -4;
angle(ind) = 11.31;
