Hello! How can i make a condition run many times?

3 views (last 30 days)
Hello! I have a problem. I have an if with a condition that must be fulfilled. But in case it is not, in the else section, i have it run the same code it had before the if. Iunderstand that i may add another else or an if, but it does not seem ok. I actually want something that can make it run until it fulfills the condition. Can you help me?

Can you be more specific about your condition and what kind of coding you have done so far?

Sure! Here is my code:
My condition if for the [in, on] to be equal to 0, so that i can, for the moment, have 3 points out of 4 on the loop. If [in,on] is not equal to 0, i want to have the code run again( not the whole code, just from %get a known index) and stop when all it find itself fulfilled. Later i will add another condition so that the forth one can also be on the loop. Can you, please, help me?

Basically, it can be done as follows with a while block:
some_condition_to_be_fullfilled = 0;
while some_condition_to_be_fullfilled == 0
if something_happened
% do some mathematical stuff
some_condition_to_be_fullfilled = 1;
% or you can use break
break
else
% do some mathematical stuff
some_condition_to_be_fullfilled = 0;
end
end

You have problem here:
if [in,on] =0
You can't define an if equality condition like above. You should be doing
if something == 0
Also, you are comparing a 2x1 array with zero, do you want both will be equal to zero? Then you should do this:
if (in == 0) && (on == 0)

Actually,
if [in, on] == 0
is equivalent to (assuming both in and on are scalar):
if in == 0 && on == 0
but it's likely the OP wouldn't be able to explain why, so Luna's syntax is strongly recommended. Another option would be:
if all([in, on] == 0)
