while loop
The while loop is another kind of loop iterated until a condition is satisfied. The testing expression is checked first before executing the body of the loop. Syntax :
while (condition) body end (endwhile can also be used)
Example : Display numbers from 1 to 10 :
MATLAB
% initializing the variable i with 1 i = 1; % while condition while i <= 10 % displaying the value of i disp(i); % make an increment of 1 in the value of i i = i + 1; % end the while loop endwhile |
Output :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Loops (For and While) and Control Statements in Octave
Control statements are expressions used to control the execution and flow of the program based on the conditions provided in the statements. These structures are used to make a decision after assessing the variable. In this article, we’ll discuss control statements like the if statement, for and while loops with examples.
