Breaking a loop and displaying iteration
Show older comments
Hi, I have a simple loop for simulating pressure in a bicycle pump and tire. I have a for loop to simulate the pressure for each stroke of the pump, but I need to display only the values up until the pressure reaches 120 psi. How do I stop the loop once the value reaches this? Is there a way to display how many iterations it took to achieve this value?
Here is my code as of now, (I'm relatively new to Matlab and not very good)
p=14.7;
for i=1:101
p = ((patm*v1+p*vtire)/(v2+vtire))
end
while p <= 120
p = ((patm*v1+p*vtire)/(v2+vtire))
if p>120, break, end
disp(p)
end

You don't need to break, when p>120 it leaves automatically the loop
You will need to initialize p

post the entire code to allow testing it

You probably still left that first "for" loop in there. Get rid of that. You also need to define v2.
