for()

Programming

for() is a MATLAB®-compatible programming function for execute a block of statements repeatedly. the loop variable iterates over the given range or array. ranges use matlab colon notation: start:end (step of 1) or start:step:end. Run it online in your browser with SimLab — free, no install, no license required.

Execute a block of statements repeatedly. The loop variable iterates over the given range or array. Ranges use MATLAB colon notation: start:end (step of 1) or start:step:end.

Syntax

for var = start:end ... end
for var = start:step:end ... end
for var = array ... end

Examples — run for() in your browser

for i = 1:5
  disp(i)
end
▶ Run
for i = 0:0.5:2
  disp(i)
end
▶ Run
total = 0;
for i = [10, 20, 30]
  total = total + i;
end
disp(total)
▶ Run
