How to optimize condition code?

Hi all,

I have example for check value in for loop as below

for cnt=1:10
	if cnt == 1
		if a(cnt) == 0
			statement A;
		else
			statement B;
		end
		
	else	%% if cnt >= 1
		if a(cnt) == 0 || a(cnt-1) == 1
			statement A;
		else
			statement B;
		end
	end
end

You can see that some lines are dupplicate. Do anyone can optimize condition in loop ?

for cnt=1:10
	if  new_condition ???
		statement A;
	else
		statement B;
    end
end

for cnt=1:10
	if (cnt == 1 && a(cnt) == 0) || (cnt>1 && (a(cnt) == 0 || a(cnt-1) == 1))
		statement A;
	else
		statement B;
    end
end
