"jump" in a 'for' cycle

seul

Hi, to put it simply I need to "jump" in a 'for' cycle. For a better understanding an exmaple always helps

clear all;
j = 1;
for i = 1:20 
   result(j,1) = i; % this is just for storing of the variable 'i' that is involved in the first "for" cycle
   j = j + 1; % adding another row for the variable "result" 
   if i == 10
      i = i+2;
   end
end

When the variable 'i' has the value of 10 I need to "jump" two rows with the 'i' index and countinue again with an increment of 1. I don't know why this code doesn't work.

Could someone help me with this issue please ?

Thanks in advance !

I'm stunted,
I've tried the same thing in C# and it worked perfectly
What language is this?

Thrax

Matlab, as this post's host forum indicates.

hmm...
If it's any help this is as it should look in C#

for (int i = 0; i <= 20; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(i.ToString());

if (i == 10)
i += 2;
}

I don't really think it will but I shan't know till I try

shwaip

each time the for loop starts, it takes the next value of i from the array that you are "for" looping over. So you are incrementing i by one, but then as soon as the loop ends, it just picks the next "i" from your array.


can you give an example of an output "result" array that you want to see?
