Introduction

For loop is an iterative loop in MATLAB. It is used to repeat and execute a set of instructions over and over for predefined number of times. Loop variable is used to track the current iteration. In simple terms, we can use the for loop in the MATLAB scripts/function if we know the number of iterations.

for loop syntax

for loopVariable =  loopStart:loopEnd
