How can I use the symbolic expression with a logical OR operator...(both being parts of the condition for a while loop)

I am trying to create a while loop as follows:
while (abs(C(X,U)-gamma)>=eps1)||(abs(Lbar_u(X,U)))
if abs(Lbar_u(X,U))>=eps2
k=k+1;
U=U-K*Lbar_u(X,U);
if abs(C(X,U)-gamma)>=eps1
X=X-inv(Cx(X,U))*(C(X,U)-gamma)
end
end
elseif abs(C(X,U)-gamma)>=eps1
X=X-inv(Cx(X,U))*(C(X,U)-gamma)
end
end
THE ERROR MESSAGE WHICH I GET IS AS FOLLOWS:
"Conversion to logical from sym is not possible"
what can I do??

There are circumstances under which it makes sense to use logical operators with symbolic expressions, but a "while" condition is not suitable.
In some cases what would be suitable would be constructing a piecewise expression. I do not think your while loop is suitable for that, though.
If you had actual values to work with for X and U and eps1 and eps2, then you could use subs() to create symbolic numeric values that could be compared, something like
double(subs(abs(C(X,U)-gamma))) > double(eps1)
though usually there are more efficient ways to code, such as using matlabFunction()

I got the point you are trying to make here. My next biggest challenge is now to achieve the same goal(i.e execution of all the statements following the while condition, as long as those 2 inequalities in the condition part are hold true). Now, how can I achieve that without using the while loop.
