Overview

In this tutorial, we will learn about Octave while statement. The while statement is a loop statement in Octave.

while Statement

Octave’s  while statement syntax is as follows:

while (condition)

    body

endwhile

 

or

 

while (condition)

    body

end

 

The while statement executes the loop statements as long as the while condition is true. The condition expression in the while statement is considered true if its value is non-zero, and false if its value is zero.

The while is an indefinite loop. We can use this loop when we don’t know beforehand the number of iterations for the loop. The loop executes until the loop condition is true.

Example

% Sample Octave Script
% while Loop Demo
% Octave Tutorials – www.TestingDocs.com

% Initialize loop variable
loopVar = 1;

% While Loop to print 1 – 10
while( loopVar <= 10)
        disp(loopVar);
       loopVar++;
endwhile
