what does ... do in matlab?

I have a code that begins function [Aprojeigbnd,upperAbnd,n,Ecard,cputimeprojeigbnd,cputimeupper]=... newV0sparsetest(imax,k,densn)

I can't seem to figure out what the ... is doing, but matlab doesn't like it if it gets removed.

It is explained in the documentation: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/continue-long-statements-on-multiple-lines.html

It allows you to continue a line to the next line. Otherwise long lines will be unreadable.

Without that though to indicate a continued line, you would have line fragments that would be invalid syntax.
