while loop: storing changing variables

I am trying to write a program that runs user inputted variables through a while loop with a bunch of equations which outputs temperatures that will replace the inputted temperatures in the next iteration until the changing variables reach a certain tolerance. My question is, how can I make this loop more efficient, and how can I store the changing temperature variables more effectively?? So far, this is what I have:
i = 1;
T1 = %%initial temperature
while i < 100000
%%equations where T1 changes to a different T1
i = i + 1;
end
This loop is storing the changing temperatures correctly, I believe, but is not outputting the results I am looking for and I do not believe it is the most efficient way to run a while loop. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

i = 1;
T1 = %%initial temperature
tmp = zeros(1, 100000); % initialize temparature with zeros of length 100000
tmp(1) = T1; % assign T1 initial value to tmp variable
while i < 100000
%%equations where T1 changes to a different T1
tmp(i+1) = T1; % store T1 for each iteration
i = i + 1;
end
