  2. OBJECTIVES • The while Loop • The for Loop • Logical Arrays and Vectorization • The Matlab Profiler

  3. THE while LOOP • Structure: The Code Block is repeated until the expression is false. If it is false, the program executes the first statement after the end.

  4. THE while LOOP • Example: • Write a program that calculates the average, • and the standard deviation, • for a set of values (X), entered by the user.

  5. THE while LOOP • Solution:

  6. THE while LOOP • Solution (modified):

  7. THE while LOOP • Solution (modified):

  8. THE for LOOP • Structure: • Repeats a block of statements (Body) specified number of times. • Legal Examples: Matlab generates an array by evaluating this expression column by column.

  9. THE for LOOP • Legal Examples:

  10. THE for LOOP • Example (The Factorial Function): • N! = N * (N-1) * (N-2) * … * 3 * 2 * 1

  11. THE for LOOP • Example (The Factorial Function): • N! = N * (N-1) * (N-2) * … * 3 * 2 * 1

  12. THE for LOOP • Example, calculating the day of year:

  13. THE for LOOP • Example: • Use THE for LOOP to calculate the average and standard deviation for any (n) values (modify the previous while program).

  14. THE for LOOP • Details of operation: • Indent the bodies of loops (automatically done in Matlab). • Don’t modify the loop index within the body of a loop. • Preallocating arrays. • recall: arr = 1:4; arr(7) = 8;  arr == [1 2 3 4 0 0 8]. (i.e. Matlab automatically extend/change the size of the array. • It is better to preallocate the array before THE for LOOP to make the program much more faster.

  15. THE for LOOP • Details of operation:(4. Vectorizing Arrays) Faster

  16. THE for LOOP • The break and continue Statements: • The break statement terminates the execution of a loop and passes control to the next statement after the end of the loop, example:

  17. THE for LOOP • The break and continue Statements: • The continue statement terminates the current step of the loop and return the control to the top of the loop, example: continue

  18. THE for LOOP • Nesting Loops: ii jj product Output

  19. THE for LOOP • Nesting Loops: Different loop index variables ii jj product Output

  20. THE for LOOP • Nesting Loops: • The break/continue statements they apply to the current loop, example:

  21. THE for LOOP • Logical array and vectorization: Double array Logical array

  22. THE for LOOP • Logical array and vectorization: • Logical arrays can serve as a mask for arithmetic operations. The specified operation will be applied to the selected elements and not to the remaining elements, example: Will take the square root of all elements for which the logical array b is true and leave all the other elements in the array unchanged

  23. THE for LOOP • Logical array and vectorization: • Example 1: • Calculate the sqrt of all the elements of array (a) > 5. Faster

  24. THE for LOOP • Logical array and vectorization: • Example 2: Calculate the sqrt of all the elements of array (a) > 5, and the square of the remaining (unselected by the previous operation).

  25. THE for LOOP • The Matlab Profiler: • Used to identify the parts of the program that consume most execution time.

  26. THE for LOOP • The Matlab Profiler:

  27. THE for LOOP • Example: (Projectile Motion) • General equation: • When the ball hits the ground

  28. THE for LOOP • Example: (Projectile Motion) • General equation: • When the ball hits the ground

  29. THE for LOOP • Example: (Commands and Functions)

  30. Home Work • Solve the following problems: • 4.[16, 19, 21]
