(par)for k=1:N end; select for or parfor loop without code replication

I like to use for-loop or parfor-loop with function input flag. One way to do that is using if-else with code replication. I wonder is there a cleverer way?
% solution based on code replication
function foo(parflag)
if parflg==true
parfor k=1:3
% processing codes
end
else
for k=1:3
% copy of processing codes
end
end
end
%% wondering how to make this idea work?
function hoo(parflag)
if parflag==true
forString = str2func('parfor')
else
forString = str2func('for')
end
forString k=1:3
% processing codes
end
end

You can avoid replicating the loop code as follows.
numWorkers={}; % or whatever
if ~parflag
numWorkers={0};
end
parfor (k=1:3, numWorkers{:})
% processing codes
end
Be mindful, though, that parfor loops have stronger requirements on the code structure, and you would be limiting yourself to that, even when running serially.
