The OR statement "|" is not working

I'm trying to make the program skip that last segment if any of those numbers are the active roll value, but when the roll value is equal to one of them, it still goes through.

n = input('How many rolls: ');
count = 0;
lose = 0;
win = 0;
pointlose = 0;
pointwin = 0;

while n > count
    roll = randi([2 12]);
    count = count + 1;
    if roll == 7 
        fprintf('Win\n')
        win = win + 1;
        count = count + 1;
    elseif roll == 11
        fprintf('Win\n')
        win = win + 1;
        count = count + 1;
    elseif roll == 2 
        fprintf('Lose\n')
        lose = lose + 1;
        count = count + 1;  
    elseif roll ==  3 
        fprintf('Lose\n')
        lose = lose + 1;
        count = count + 1;  
    elseif roll == 12 
        fprintf('Lose\n')
        lose = lose + 1;
        count = count + 1;  
    end
    
    
    if roll ~= 2 | 3 | 7 | 11 | 12
        point = roll;
        while roll ~= point
            roll = randi([2 12]);
            if roll == point
                fprintf('point win\n')
                pointwin = pointwin + 1;
            elseif roll == 7
                fprintf('point loss\n')
                break
            end
        end
    else
    end 
end

You may consider replacing the line

roll ~= 2 | 3 | 7 | 11 | 12

with

~ismember(roll,[2  3  7  11  12])

[William Day]

Doing that creates a pause at

while roll ~= point

MAy be it is not a pause......the while loop has gone infinite.. ?

[William Day]

When I try to step through it it makes a new ismember page with things like:

if nargin == 3 && isstring(flag1)

flag1 = convertFlag(flag1);

if nargout < 2

lia = ismember(A, B, flag1);

else

[lia, locb] = ismember(A, B, flag1);

end

return

end

if nargin == 4 && (isstring(flag1) || isstring(flag2))

if isstring(flag1)

flag1 = convertFlag(flag1);

end

if isstring(flag2)

flag2 = convertFlag(flag2);

end

if nargout < 2

lia = ismember(A, B, flag1, flag2);

else

[lia, locb] = ismember(A, B, flag1, flag2);

end

return

end

And there are hundreds of lines

Perhaps because ismember is used for arrays instead of scaning for integers?
