What in the world is going on with my loop? Matlab getting hang up?

Resubmitted question in proper format. Worked on this a bit more with no luck. Need to make the Left side of the equation (LS) equal to the right side (RS), by iterating on the value of SSi.Thanks.

Di = 0.3750, Do =0.6667, k =0.1050, n = 0.5000, U = 3.7370, YP = 10.4500
SSi = 0.01;
RS = ((SSi- YP)^((n+1)/n))*(3*n/(1+2*n))*(SSi+(n/(n+1))*YP)/(k^(1/n)*SSi^2);
LS = 12*U/(Do-Di);
while  abs(RS-LS)< 0.1
   SSi = SSi + 0.01
   RS = ((SSi- YP)^((n+1)/n))*(3*n/(1+2*n))*(SSi+(n/(n+1))*YP)/(k^(1/n)*SSi^2);
end

Please learn to use the {} code button.

When you edit the question, select the block of code, then click the code button. That will make your code readable, instead of one unreadable line.

It would help if you format your code, but from what I see you have a while loop on the condition

e > 0.001

yet the body of your while loop is:

m = m + 0.01;

which does not change 'e' at all so you have an infinite loop because if e never changes it will always be > 0.001, assuming it starts off by satisfying the condition.
