for f = 1:8 in matlab

You can use a for loop in MATLAB to iterate over a range of numbers. The syntax for a for loop is:

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

In this case, values would be the range of numbers you want to iterate over, and index would be a variable that takes on each value in the range. To create a loop that iterates over the range 1 to 8, you can use the following code:

main.m
for f = 1:8
   % statements to be executed for each value of f
end
67 chars
4 lines

Within the loop, you can put any statements or functions that you want to execute for each value of f.
