This MATLAB function executes a group of statements in a loop for a specified number of times.

Within any program, you can define sections of code that either repeat in a loop or conditionally execute. Loops use a for or while keyword, and conditional statements use if or switch.

Loop Control Statements With loop control statements, you can repeatedly execute a block of code. There are two types of loops:

When you create a vector to index into a cell array or structure array (such as cellName{:} or structName(:).fieldName), MATLAB returns multiple outputs in a comma-separated list.

If an input is a table or timetable, then all its variables must have data types that support the operation. If only one input is a table or timetable, then the other input must be a numeric or …

Because cell arrays can contain a mix of types and sizes, you sometimes must extract and combine data from cells before processing that data. This section describes a few common …

A structure array is a data type that groups related data using data containers called fields.

The MATLAB while loop is similar to a do...while loop in other programming languages, such as C and C++. However, while evaluates the conditional expression at the beginning of the loop …

The MATLAB break statement ends execution of a for or while loop, but does not end execution of a switch statement. This behavior is different than the behavior of break and switch in C.

Types of MATLAB Plots There are various functions that you can use to plot data in MATLAB ®. This table classifies and illustrates the common graphics functions.
