MATLAB for Engineers: Intro to For Loops (Part 1) 🌀

In this video, I introduce you to the for loop. A for loop is a loop structure for repeating a calculation a pre-defined number of times. For loops are present in most programming languages and environments. First, I'll introduce you to the structure of a for loop. Then, I'll demonstrate the concept of a loop pass through an example problem. Finally, I'll walk you through the implementation of a for loop in MATLAB.

This is Part 1 of a 4 Part Series on for Loops.

Part 2 focuses on updating the value of a variable during each loop pass. Link to Part 2: https://youtu.be/mQD3xSvgd7s

Part 3 introduces array indexing, element-by-element operations, and storage of data inside of an array. Link to Part 3: https://youtu.be/PjmwlBXhzQM

Part 4 will introduce combining loops and logic by nesting the conditional statements if, elseif, and else inside of a loop. Link to Part 4: https://youtu.be/Mthlyc6omfg
