Increment the value inside another loop

for i=1:10
   if(true)
     while(true)
       i=i+1;
     end
   end
end

will this increment or update the value of i ?

[Mushahid Shamim]

@Mushahid Shamim: This will run in a inf loop. Need a condition to break the while statement. for i=1:10 if(true) while(true) i=i+1 break end end end end Please describe the workflow which you are trying to achieve, assuming this isn't for m-code 101

[Mushahid Shamim]

yeah after a while the while block will break. lets say I loop through i=1:10 in for loop and I want to increase i in while block from 1 to 4. while(i<4) i=i+1 end why this is not increasing the value of that i that controlling the outer for loop

[Dennis]

why should your while loop break? I am pretty sure that your for loop doesnt even care if you change i somewhere it will still run from 1:10.

If you want your inner loop to iterate 4 times why are you using while?

while it<=10
   for i=1:4
       it=it+1;
   end
end

[Mushahid Shamim]

let's say its another condition and it will break after some iterations. and while it fulfilling the while condition and I want to increase the value of i each time.
