A for loop in MATLAB is similar to a DO Loop in FORTRAN. The main difference is that the FORTRAN DO loop must have an integer index variable; for does not have this restriction. An example of a for loop that is virtually identical to a DO loop is$$ for k $=1$:$5001$; t$($k$)=($k$-1)*0\mathrm{.}01$; y$($k$)=$ sin$($t$($k$))$;endAnother way of implementing the same loop is to increment t from $0$ to $50$ in intervals of $0\mathrm{.}01$:$$k$=0$ for t $=0$:$0\mathrm{.}01$:$50$;k $=$ k $+1$; y$($k$)=$ sin$($t$)$;endThe developers of MATLAB highly recommend that you use the vectorized version of the above for loops:t $=0$:$0\mathrm{.}01$:$50$;y $=$ sin$($t$)$;
