create a loop in matlab

You can create a loop in MATLAB using either the for loop or the while loop. Here are the basic syntax for both types of loops:

For Loop

main.m
for index = values
   statements
end
37 chars
4 lines

• index is the loop variable that takes the values specified in values.
• statements are the commands that will be executed in each iteration of the loop.

Example:

main.m
for i = 1:5
    fprintf('The current value of i is %d\n', i);
end
66 chars
4 lines

While Loop

main.m
while condition
   statements
end
34 chars
4 lines

• condition is the expression that determines whether the loop will continue executing or not.
• statements are the commands that will be executed in each iteration of the loop.

Example:

main.m
x = 1;
while x <= 5
    fprintf('The current value of x is %d\n', x);
    x = x + 1;
end
89 chars
6 lines

Once the loop has finished executing, MATLAB will continue with the commands immediately following the loop.
