MATLAB for Engineers - Introduction to while Loops (Part 3 of 4): Indexing and Storage in Arrays

A while loop is a loop structure for repeating a calculation when the number of loop passes is not known in advance. In this video, we'll use a while loop to determine how long it will take to double an initial account balance based on a specified annual rate of return. Unlike in Part 2 (link below), we'll store the account balance inside of an array using an index variable. First, we'll take a look at the problem statement. Then, I'll walk you through a flow chart to visualize how to store the end-of-year balance in a specific element in an array through the use of an index variable. Finally, we'll solve the problem in MATLAB. While loops are present in most programming languages and environments.

This is Part 3 of a 4 Part Series on while Loops.

PLEAR SIR UPLOAD NEXT WHILE LOOP VIDEO 4/4, it's really helpful sir

[danielsoria]

Thanks for the such a good explanation!!

[jacobhouston]

I don't understand this i array concept. Need a visual to explain that, please.

[spyroskast]

I suggest you throw an example to do at the end with the answer at the very end

[Paull]

can you explain how to make for loop into a while loop

[thaibinhnguyenthi]

Thank u so much, this lesson is great!
