Hello everyone i have this code, it generates 1 plot , now i want to have 10000 samples of it of different values by running a loop and then i need to find the pdf of it, how can i do that do that? please help me, thank you

The 1000 instances data of the variable can be stored in a global variable which can be later used for calculating a much better and approximate pdf. C is the global array and a is the variable for which we want to calculate the pdf of so after every iteration of the for loop we can add
C = [C a];
After getting C we can use fitdist function and fit a distribution accordingly. After this pdf function in MATLAB can used to find the pdf. Examples on how to use the pdf function can be accessed here.
