MATLAB: Run a loop every hour regardless of its calculation time!

looptimer

Hi All

I want to run a look evey hour and do some math inside the loop.

one solusion is to use tic/toc to get the math time and deduce it from the pause time, but I find it not efficient.

Any solusion to this?

Thanks.

while true
   tic
   % some math here  
   elapsedTime=toc  
   pause(3600+elapsedTime); 
   clearvars elapsedTime;
end
% Please note on while loop to avoid infinite run

iniTime = clock;
limit   = 12 * 3600;  % Seconds 
while etime(clock, iniTime) < limit
  % do the processing here
end

Hi, you can use the "tic" and "toc" matlab functions, which ones let you to create a timer and control the elapsed time between the execution of a code, for example in your case:

tStart=tic;%starts the timer
for n=1:10e50
a=n+1;%here your function
tEnd=toc(tStart);
if(tEnd>=(2*60))%checks if it has passed 2minutes
  disp('It has spent 2min');
  break;%break the for loop if it's true the condition
end
end

tEnd has got the time elapsed in seconds, and 10e50 is a value I have set randomly to make the code spend more than two minutes. In the condition you can see I have set "2" minutes in seconds.

Regards!
