Here is an outline to get you started:

a = something; % you put a value here


m = something; % you put a value here
x = something; % you put a value here
y = 0; % the starting y value
for i=1:m  % the for-loop indexing
    % you put code here to add something to y
end % the end of the for-loop

See the Getting Started tutorials here:

There are for loop and while loop, that can help you do that.

I think what you really should do is something like:

answer1 = zeros(M,N); % pre-allocate variable  
for x=1:1:M
  for y=1:1:N
      z=x*y;
      answer1(x,y)=z;
  end
end

Then you have all the data from each loop iteration.
