Is it possible to realize such loop in MATLAB?

Good day, everyone!

For example, we have some x variable.

Is it possible to realize such loop (using "for") to get these results?

1-st iteration: x-1

2-nd iteration: (x-1)*(x-2)

3-rd iteration: (x-1)*(x-2)*(x-3)

etc.

x = 10;
n_iterations = 5;

results = zeros(1,n_iterations);
r = 1;
for ii = 1:n_iterations
    r = r*(x-ii);
    results(ii) = r;
end
results

results = 1×5

Or, without the loop:

results = cumprod(x-(1:n_iterations))

results = 1×5
