while loop in matlab

In order to create a while loop in MATLAB, you can follow the below code syntax:

main.m
while condition
   statements
end
34 chars
4 lines

In the above syntax, the condition can be a scalar or a vector value that will be checked at the beginning of each iteration. If the condition is true, then the statements within the while loop will be executed. The loop will keep running until the condition becomes false.

Here's an example of a while loop that prints the value of i until the value of i is less than or equal to 5:

main.m
i = 1;

while i <= 5
   disp(i)
   i = i + 1;
end
50 chars
7 lines

Output:

main.m
1
2
3
4
5
10 chars
6 lines

In the above example, the loop starts with the value of i equal to 1. The disp function is used to print the value of i, and then i is incremented by 1 using the i = i + 1 statement. The loop continues until i becomes greater than 5, at which point the loop stops.

Note that it's important to ensure that the condition within the while loop will eventually become false; otherwise, the loop will run indefinitely.
