Referencing a line of code

Is there any way to reference a specific line of code (This line may change).

For instance if I want to remember where to change a value within the code I want to have some refernce at the top of the code to help me quickly find where to make the change.

%To change SG value skip down to line __ or change equation on line __

Then farther down in my code I will have.

SG = 0.895
SG = (EQUATION)

So can I somehow reference the lines? I don't want to just put the current line number because that can and will change. I also want to keep things in the order that they are and not move things around much. So I don't want to just put the SG = 0.895 at the top of the code.

I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Why not just Ctrl+f then type:

SG =

To find the line where that piece of code is located? This always works for me...

N. MATLAB does not have a goto statement. Use if/elseif/else/end or switch/case to make a decision tree.

Put a specific comment in the line to be changed, and refer to that comment, expecting that the user will search.
