Loop Control Statements

A control statement is a set of conditions that permits the loop to continue running until a certain condition is satisfied. It also controls the loop's syntax. In a while loop, for example, the comparative value is defined before the loop begins. In contrast, the value conditions are specified in the for statement during the initialization of a for loop.

The loop control statement controls the execution of a loop or changes the execution from the normal sequence of commands. There are two specific loop control statements in MATLAB: break and continue. These statements are used in almost every language.

Break Statement

When the break command is used, the for or while$/$for loop will be terminated. The statements written after the break statement in the loop are skipped $/$ not executed. If nested loops are encountered, the break will only exit from the loop in which it is used. At the end of the loop, control goes to the statement that follows.
