Function script for Monte Carlo simulation with varying temperature

I'm writing a Monte carlo script that will simulate the canonical ensemble from statistical mechanics. I got it working and it shows some nice plots of the energy distribution and everything is as it seems, for low temperatures we have a high occurence of low energy states as hoped but now I want to create a function that runs the script many times for a range of temperatures. Below is the code. My question is can you give me some tip(s) on where to begin? I'm not very experienced with Matlab and especially not with functions. I not really sure where to begin. Thanks.

function [E] = MonteCarlo(T) % Function(Output) = function_name(input)

E_0 = 1;            % Max energy state
k = 1;              % Boltzmann constant
Beta = 1/(k*T);     % Temperature of system
N = 1000;           % Length of the sequence
E = zeros(1,N);     % Initiate sequence
E(1) = rand * E_0;  % Initial energy;
r = rand;

for i = 2:N
    e = rand * E_0;
if e <= E(i-1)
    E(i) = e;
else 
    
    if exp(-(Beta * (e-E(i-1)))) >= r
        E(i) = e; 
    else
        E(i) = E(i-1);
    end
end
end

Just call that function in a for loop. What kind of values do you want to send in for T?

[John D'Errico]

You can't just put a for loop around your function, where T varies? That is, call your function multiple times in a loop. Save the results, or do whatever you wish with them. You already know how to use a for loop, so where is the problem?

i want a lot of T values over a range of 2-4 magnitudes potentially.

So i can also specify that T should change in a separate loop or make it part of the function?

OK, try this:

T = whatever, like from T=linspace(1,10000, 1000000) or T=10000*rand(1, 1000000) or whatever.
for k = 1 : length(T)
    E(k) = MonteCarlo(T(k));
end

Ah yes, I got it now thanks!
