Creating for loop for a piecewise function

I have made a piecewise function using if statements that inputs Vs as a vector and outputs VL as a number. I need to loop this piecewise function for each element of the input vector, each loop I need it to display the VL output into a row vector.

if Vs<=0.6; %if this is true
    VL=0;% it prints a 0
else
    VL=Vs-0.6; % prints a Vs-0.6 value.
end

%I need to make a for loop that will loop this for the entire vector input of Vs and display all the values in a
%  row vector.
%I have tried to make a loop as follows:

for V=0:Vs;
if V<=0.6; %if this is true
    VL(V)=0;% it prints a 0
else
    VL(V)=V-0.6; % prints a Vs-0.6 value.
end
end

%All this outputs is zero, and it does not loop and does not output a
%vector.

One problem is that MATLAB subscripts are integers greater than 0, so setting ‘V’ to 0 and using it as a subscript will fail.

Try this —

Vs = 5;                                                 % Create Value
Vv=0:Vs;                                                % Define As A Vector
for k = 1:numel(Vv)
    if Vv(k)<=0.6; %if this is true
        VL(k)=0;% it prints a 0
    else
        VL(k)=Vv(k)-0.6; % prints a Vs-0.6 value.
    end
end
VL

VL = 1×6

0 0.4000 1.4000 2.4000 3.4000 4.4000
