How do i do a for loop within a for loop with a variable changing n=1:42.

If i wanted to create a for loop where n=1:42, but there is another variable, l whose dimension is dependant on the variable n. how would i notate the change for l. for instance, if for n=2:6,9 l=1:16 but for n=42, l=1:53, how could i construct the for loops to give me outputs without the error "indices exceed matrix dimensions" Thanks

Why can't you use simple if-tests on the value of n to set the value of I?

would i do this

for n=1:42; 
if n=[2:6 9] l=1:16;
 equation equation;
 end 
if n=42 l=1:53;
 equation equation;
 end
 end

or would i do

for n=1:42; 
if n=[2:6 9] l=1:16;
 if n=42 l=1:53;
 equation equation;
 end
 end

thanks a lot!
