Re: Problem with an if statement inside a while loop

[SikoraP13]

Thanks for the response, James.  I just tried that and I am still getting the
same error.  I've also tried putting the if statements in a for loop, but
get another problem.  It gives me:

syntax error

>>>  angle(i+1)=angle(i)
               ^

however if I comment out all of the pos items, it runs fine.  This leads me
to believe there may be something with my indexing, but I'm not completely
sure what it is.  Either the for or the while will work for what I need it
to, so any help fixing either solution would be appreciated.


I essentially tried replacing the while loop with this statement:
for i=1:length(commandList)

                if commandList(1,i)=="+"
                        pos(i+1,:)=pos(i,:)+[0,0,90]
                        angle(i+1)=angle(i)+angleInc
                        
                elseif commandList(1,i)=="-"
                        pos(i+1,:)=pos(i,:)+[0,0,90]
                        angle(i+1)=angle(i)-angleInc
                        
                elseif commandList(1,i)=="F"
                        
pos(i+1,:)=pos(i,:)+1./scalingFactor.^n.*[cos([pos(i,3),sin([pos(i,3),0]
                        angle(i+1)=angle(i)
                        
                else 
                        pos(i+1,:)=pos(i,:)
                        angle(i+1)=angle(i)
                                        
                end
