embedded matlab function

I'm using embedded matlab function for my project. How to initialize the parameter just once at the beginning? some sort like this: j = 0 (initialize once only) j=j+1 (the value of j is updated after every loop running)

Please try:

   persistent j

   if isempty(j)
       j = 0;
   end

   j = j + 1;

HTH.
