Using a for loop to compute a Taylor series of sine?

I understand while loops pretty well, but for loops always seem to throw me off. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

Please make an attempt and post your code, and then ask specific questions about it. Then we can comment on it and make suggestions.

I would but I honestly have no clue where to begin. I understand how to ask for the input statements and make the fprintf statements, but that is all. I'm entirely lost.

%%sample code
  prompt = 'Enter angle value between 0 to 2pi? ';
  x = input(prompt)
  prompt = 'Enter the no of terms? ';
  N = input(prompt)
  ty = 0;
  for i = 1:N
    ty = ty +((-1)^(i))*((x^(2*i+1))/(factorial(2*i+1)));%your calculations
  end
  fprintf(['actual value    ' num2str(ty)]) %display the results

It has a error. In the for loop is i=0:N.
