how to terminate nested loop
1 view (last 30 days)

My Matlab code with nested loop is like the following:
for{
while{
if{
break
}
}
}
I want the if statement to stop the while loop and do the next for loop.
It's obvious break will terminate the for loop as well.
How can I change that?

"break" only acts on the immediately enclosing loop. It already does what you want.
For example,
>> for K = 1 : 5; X = 0; while true; X = X + 1; disp([K,X]); if X>K; break; end; end; end
1 1
1 2
2 1

2 3
3 1

4 5
5 1
5 2
5 3
5 4
5 5
5 6
You can see from the output that the break is working but that the containing "for" continues.
