How to convert temperature with multiple "if" statements?

I am trying to set create a function that will convert a temperature from unit to another. But unitFrom and unitTo must be part of the function. In other words, I am providing the temperature, the unitFrom and the unitTo. The units are Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin. I have multiple if statements because converting Celsius could go two ways, to Fahrenheit or to Kelvin. How do I do this in MatLab? Please see attached photo of what I have so far. I am testing my function by writing this into the command and currently I get an error: convertTemperature(50,
’Fahrenheit’,’Celsius’)

The double equal (==) doesn’t work with strings. Use the strcmp or strcmpi functions instead.
