How to stop counting an element in a for loop when it reaches the limit?

Hello everyone, i have a for loop that increases from 1 to 3600 and i want an element inside that loop , that will be either 1 or 0 , but when it reaches 18 lets say, i mean if 1 is repeated 18 times in the loop i want it to stop having values of 1 , so the rest will be 0 again. Can anyone help please?

Is this what you mean?

SomeNumbers = zeros(3600,1); 

for k = 1:3600

      RandomNumber = rand(1)-.8; 

      % Make a note when RandomNumber>0: 
      if RandomNumber>0
          SomeNumbers(k) = 1; 
      end

      % Quit the loop when 18 RandomNumbers have been >0:
      if sum(SomeNumbers)==18
          break
      end    

end
