macOS more help for matlab beginner

[mufflon]

I believe the syntax for a for-loop in mathlab is ? for i=1:12 - or something like that. write "help for" or "man for" (dunno which to get manual) directly in matlab main window.

edit: I was indeed correct

for loop variable = startvalue : endvalue 
     commands
end

thanks, it worked with that. but now if i put i only owe $20, it still goes through all 12 months

well i would like to thank all who have helped me in this thread. i've finally got it working right, now i've just got to do the finishing touches and stuff

i still might have a few questions, but the program is working (i think at least)

 

[twoodcc]

well it looks like i'm still having a little trouble. and it's due tomorrow

how can i make my program stop after a certain amount of years? like 40?

you don't have to write the code for me, just an example of stopping a program after a certain time or whatever.

since i have a while loop, this might be complicated?

well, i've tried a break, and it stops it, but it's still not quite right.

i'm using all months, then converting to years and months. i have an if statement at the end of everything, saying if months < 480, then display a message.

else, display another message

but when i make it where it should take more than 480 months, the break stops it at 480, and it always displays the message that i don't want it too

well i think i figured it out. i just had to move that if statement up past where i converted the months to years
