repeating in matlab

In MATLAB, you can use loops to set up repetitive operations. The for and while loops are commonly used for this purpose.

Here is an example of using a for loop to repeat a set of statements 10 times:

main.m
for i = 1:10
   % statements to be repeated
   disp('Hello world!');
end
73 chars
5 lines

This will display the message "Hello world!" 10 times.

Here is an example of using a while loop to repeat a set of statements until a condition is met:

main.m
num = 1;
while num < 10
   % statements to be repeated
   disp(num);
   num = num + 1;
end
91 chars
7 lines

This will display the numbers 1 through 9.

You can also use the continue and break statements within loops to control the flow of execution. The continue statement skips to the next iteration of the loop, while the break statement exits the loop altogether.

main.m
for i = 1:10
   % statements to be repeated
   if i == 5
      continue; % skip the rest of the statements for i==5
   end
   if i == 8
      break; % exit the loop when i==8
   end
   disp(i);
end
198 chars
11 lines

This will display the numbers 1 through 4, 6, and 7. The loop will exit when i is equal to 8.
