3. THE while LOOP Structure:
The Code Block is repeated until the expression is false. If it is false, the program executes the first statement after the end.

4. THE while LOOP
Example:
Write a program that calculates the average,
and the standard deviation,
for a set of values (X), entered by the user.

5. THE while LOOP
Solution:

6. THE while LOOP

7. THE while LOOP
Solution (modified):

8. Repeats a block of statements (Body) specified number of times.
THE for LOOP
Structure:
Repeats a block of statements (Body) specified number of times.
Legal Examples:
Matlab generates an array by evaluating this expression column by column.

9. THE for LOOP
Legal Examples:

10. THE for LOOP
Example (The Factorial Function):
N! = N * (N-1) * (N-2) * … * 3 * 2 * 1

11. THE for LOOP
Example (The Factorial Function):
N! = N * (N-1) * (N-2) * … * 3 * 2 * 1

12. THE for LOOP
Example, calculating the day of year:

13. THE for LOOP
Example:
Use THE for LOOP to calculate the average and standard deviation for any (n) values (modify the previous while program).

14. THE for LOOP
Details of operation:
Indent the bodies of loops (automatically done in Matlab).
Don’t modify the loop index within the body of a loop.
Preallocating arrays.
recall: arr = 1:4; arr(7) = 8;  arr == [ ]. (i.e. Matlab automatically extend/change the size of the array.
It is better to preallocate the array before THE for LOOP to make the program much more faster.

15. Details of operation: (4. Vectorizing Arrays)
THE for LOOP
Details of operation: (4. Vectorizing Arrays)
Faster

16. THE for LOOP
The break and continue Statements:
The break statement terminates the execution of a loop and passes control to the next statement after the end of the loop, example:

17. The break and continue Statements:
THE for LOOP
The break and continue Statements:
The continue statement terminates the current step of the loop and return the control to the top of the loop, example:
continue

18. THE for LOOP
Nesting Loops: ii jj
product

19. Different loop index variables
THE for LOOP
Nesting Loops:
Different loop index variables ii jj

20. THE for LOOP
Nesting Loops:
The break/continue statements they apply to the current loop, example:

21. Logical array and vectorization:
THE for LOOP
Logical array and vectorization:
Double array
Logical array

22. Logical array and vectorization:
THE for LOOP
Logical array and vectorization:
Logical arrays can serve as a mask for arithmetic operations. The specified operation will be applied to the selected elements and not to the remaining elements, example:
Will take the square root of all elements for which the logical array b is true and leave all the other elements in the array unchanged

23. Logical array and vectorization: Example 1:
THE for LOOP
Logical array and vectorization:
Example 1:
Calculate the sqrt of all the elements of array (a) > 5.
Faster

24. THE for LOOP
Logical array and vectorization:
Example 2: Calculate the sqrt of all the elements of array (a) > 5, and the square of the remaining (unselected by the previous operation).

25. THE for LOOP
The Matlab Profiler:
Used to identify the parts of the program that consume most execution time.

26. THE for LOOP
The Matlab Profiler:

27. THE for LOOP
Example: (Projectile Motion)
General equation:
When the ball hits the ground

28. THE for LOOP
Example: (Projectile Motion)
General equation:
When the ball hits the ground

29. THE for LOOP
Example: (Projectile Motion)
General equation:
When the ball hits the ground

30. THE for LOOP
