MATLAB for Engineers - Introduction to while Loops (Part 1 of 4): The Basics

In this video, I introduce you to the while loop. A while loop is a loop structure for repeating a calculation until a specified condition is met. While loops are present in most programming languages and environments. First, I'll introduce you to the structure of a while loop. Then, I'll demonstrate the concept of a loop pass using a flow chart. Finally, I'll walk you through the implementation of a basic while loop in MATLAB.
This is Part 1 of a 4 Part Series on while Loops.
Part 2 focuses on updating the value of a scalar variable and using a counter variable inside of a while loop. To demonstrate these concepts, we take a look at how long it would take to double an initial account balance based on a specified annual rate of return. Link to Part 2: • MATLAB for Engineers -...
Part 3 introduces the concept of storing the value of a loop variable inside of an array using an index variable. Link to Part 3: • MATLAB for Engineers -...
Part 4 introduces the concept of combing loops and logic by nesting an if statement inside of a while loop. Link to Part 4: • MATLAB for Engineers -...
The background music in the intro and outro was written and produced by Michael J Calamas for the exclusive use of David Calamas.

i learned more from this video than from my uni lectures

[@Kni90270]

Some university lecturers are not explaining in this clarity. Thank you ☺️

[@ahmedabdulhafith1810]

I have watched so many videos about the basics of the Matlab programming language, and I can say your explanation is the best I have found. Hope you do more videos about programming.

[@georgiosstavrinos3023]

This is the best explanation I've found on while loops. Thank you!!

[@rajmehta3928]

Please continue these videos. they are of great help.

[@romanschlichting8873]

you are one of the heroes of youtube pulling me through engineering, ever since covid and online classes especially been so grateful for the great content to learn from thank you so much for the help!

[@SpartanProfessor]

Glad to help!

[@abkhokhar6515]

Great work. We look forward to watching your next videos.

[@dinosaur22815]

YOU MAKE IT SO SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

[@learnnewfoodworldwide8806]

David do more videos of matlab and please make Python tutorials also, you'ld make them easy to understand 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@EngineeringwithDrKelseyJoy]

Love the flowcharts you include!

[@SpartanProfessor]

Thanks! Hard to understand otherwise IMO

[@gizemkacann]

many thankss for wonderfull explanation!!

[@genuinelifematters8819]

This is awesome prof.

the video is awesome man.

[@swaminipatel3811]

you are magic, i learned so much

[@lord_kaitu]

Bless you … clear understanding

[@karidanayam]

thank you, the clearest matlab video on youtube

[@SpartanProfessor]

Glad it was helpful!

[@eshalshoaib5923]

Amazing video! Thank you! Just subscribed!

[@SpartanProfessor]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jacobhouston1655]

Dude, your way of explaining this using a flowchart made it click for me. Make more videos explaining using flowchart please. How about a video for If, then statements, please?

[@rajbahadursingh3706]

EXELLENT

[@mokarrommolla5820]

I like you all videos.i am just wondering are you gonna make a video that can show us how to animate dynamics problem in matlab ? thank you so much

[@norihambujang4903]

i have one question, after we get all the value x=5,x=14, x=41....how to write the command so that we can add all the x values...tq in advance prof

[@priyankanegi8414]

I want to predict the pollutant concentration from distance ,x (0 to 60,000m) at every 200 m. what statement will be used?

[@priyankanegi8414]

spartan professor, please help me !

[@josepharmstrong6852]

needed to play at 1.5x speed dude you talk so slow

[@SpartanProfessor]

A large percentage of the audience is international so I try to enunciate clearly and at a slower cadence. Nothing wrong with 1.5x.
