FOR & WHILE LOOPS


FOR LOOPS

• Used when the number of passes is known ahead of time


for loop variable = m:s:n
statements
end

• A simple example of a for loop is

for k = 5:10:35
x = k^2
end

• Note: k takes on the values 5, 15, 25, and 35, and x takes on the values
25, 225, 625, and 1225.

• The program then continues to execute any statements following the end
statement.

NOTES ON LOOP VARIABLE EXPRESSION
K = M:S:N

• The step value s may be negative.

• If s is omitted, the step value defaults to 1.

• If s is positive, the loop will not be executed if m is


greater than n.

• If s is negative, the loop will not be executed if m is


less than n.

• If m equals n, the loop will be executed only once.


WHILE LOOPS

• The while loop is used when the looping process


terminates because a specified condition is satisfied,
and thus the number of passes is not known in advance.
• A simple example of a while loop is
x = 5;
while x < 25
disp(x)
x = 2*x -1;
end

• The results displayed by the disp statement are 5, 9, and

THE TYPICAL STRUCTURE OF A WHILE
LOOP
while logical expression
statements
end

For the while loop to function properly, the following


two conditions must occur :
1. The loop variable must have a value before the
while statement is executed.
2. The loop variable must be changed somehow by
the statements.
