MATLAB While Loop

Matlab Loop Statements

The while loop repeats the statements as long as the condition is true.

Syntax

The syntax of the while loop in MATLAB is-

while <expression>
　　　<statements>
end

The while loop repeats the program statements as long as the expression (statements) remains true.

The expression is true when the result is non-empty and contains all non-zero elements (logical or real values). Otherwise, the expression is false.

Online Example

Create a script file and enter the following code-

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

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
value of a:　18
value of a:　19
