MATLAB: For loop repetition question

for loops

Hey guys, I'm trying to make my code below to give me N=1:10 (repeating the for loop 10 times) in addition to 1:20 and 1:50, do I need to make separate for loops for this or is there some way to get the current loop to give me this information?
 clear;
x0=[42;0;95];
extinct=0;
W=zeros(1,200);
for N=[1:10]
    F=2*rand(1)
    for t=1:200;
    W(t)=F;
    A=[0 0 F; .6 0 0; 0 .75 .55];       
    x=(A^t)*x0;
        if (sum(x)<1);
            extinct=extinct+1;
            break;
        end
    end
end
fprintf('Number of extinction events:%d\n',extinct)

Best Answer

You don't need the brackets, by the way. You'd need to wrap that whole loop in another loop to handle the other top values of N:
upperN = [10,20,50]
for k = upperN
  fprintf('Upper N = %d\n', k);
  for n = 1 : k
    fprintf('      n = %d\n', n);
  end
end
