Loops and Conditional Statements

As in all programming languages, Matlab can be used to repeat statements for a specific number of times--or until a condition has been reached--by using the for or while loops.

N = 10;

for n = 1:N
  for m = 1:N
    a(n,m) = 1/(n+m+1);
  end
end

Conditional operators like if and switch are also available. Call a help on these operators for more information.
