Does Ctrl+C interrupt after executing all commands in a line?

Dear community,
I am running a loop where some state variables are updated.
Sometimes I want to interrupt that loop using Ctrl+C, but I want to make sure that all my state variables have been updated for consistency.
Currently I have created a structure that embeds all my state variables that I update writting:
state = state_past;
The intent is to update all the structure content at once, making it unafectable by a Ctrl+C interruption.
Q1: Do you think updating a whole structure is not interrupted by Ctrl+C?
Rather than using this state structure approach, I was thinking to write all my updates on the same line this way:
t = t_past; x = x_past; y = y_past; % and so on...
Q2: Do you think Ctrl+C can not interrupt in the middle of this line?
Q3: Is there a way to make sure a complete bloc of code is executed together not being interrupted by Ctrl+C?
Thank you for your enlightments.

Q1 & Q2 & Q3: No.
If ctrl+c is pressed before that line is executed or perhaps even while that line is executed it will be interrupted. If ctrl+c is executed afterwards the function will not return outputs. https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/stop-execution.html
Besides, this is a horrible design strategy. If you want the user to stop execution you can build in some flag-checks that check the status of a flag to decide whether to continue or not. The flag can be a property value such as a state button or something the user can control while the code is running. If the flag is false, for example, the functions can all terminate ('return'). Here's an example.
