How to code efficiently

[1micha.elok]

Instead of using if...then...else....

Code:

    'Cell Animation
    draw image santa.run,santa.move,santa.jump,santa.cell
    if santa.cell<11 then
        santa.cell = santa.cell + dt*20
    else
        santa.cell = 0
    endif

Could it be used min() function for the animation above ? I still can't figure out where to code santa.cell = 0 ... 

Code:

    'Cell Animation
    draw image santa.run,santa.move,santa.jump,santa.cell
    santa.cell = min(santa.cell+dt*20,11)

    endif
