MATLAB - The while Loop


The while loop repeatedly executes statements while condition is true.

Syntax
The syntax of a while loop in MATLAB is −

while <expression>
<statements>
end

The while loop repeatedly executes program statement(s) as long as the expression remains true.

An expression is true when the result is nonempty and contains all nonzero elements (logical or real
numeric). Otherwise, the expression is false.

Example
Create a script file and type the following code −

a = 10;
Live Demo
% while loop execution
while( a < 20 )
fprintf('value of a: %d\n', a);
a = a + 1;
end

When you run the file, it displays the following result −

value of a: 10
value of a: 11
value of a: 12
value of a: 13
value of a: 14
value of a: 15
value of a: 16
value of a: 17
