do till condition is met "continue" example

This is a nice example.

clear

y = 1:100;
count = 0
for j = 1:length(y)

if y(j)>50, continue, end
count = count+1
x(j)=y(j)
pause


end

This takes x until y(j)>50. After the condition is met it simply passes out.


Better explained by:

clear

y = 1:100;
count = 0
for j = 1:length(y)
disp('go')
if y(j)>50, continue, end
count = count+1
x(j)=y(j)
pause


end

continue keeps on taking values does not break the chain.
while break breaks it and comes out of the loop



Contrasted over the

clear

y = 1:100;
count = 0
for j = 1:length(y)
disp('go')
if y(j)>50, break, end
count = count+1
x(j)=y(j)
pause


end

lastly;


clear
clc
y = 1:100;
count = 0
for j = 1:length(y)
disp('go')
if y(j)<20||y(j)>50, break, end
count = count+1
x(j)=y(j)
pause


end

this does not even work while continue will keep looking for the situation.
Break just breaks while continue keep working escaping to the next one and checking!
