How can I avoid using for loop in this functions

This is the function whose speed I want to improve. I know I should use more matrix operation and use less for loop. But I have no idea how to use if-else in matrices.
function y=Besselj_approx(n,z)
y=zeros(1,length(n));
for i=n
if i>0
y(i)=1./gamma(i+1).*(z/2).^i;
elseif i<0
y(i)=(-1).^(-i)./gamma(-i+1).*(z/2).^(-i);
else
y(i)=-z.^2/4+1;
end
end
Any help is appreciated!

Have you tried logical indexing?
Loops are quite efficient if used properly and the usage above looks good. Although you can club the 1st two conditions together -
if i~=0
k=abs(i);
y(i)=sign(i).^(k)./gamma(k+1).*(z/2).^k;
else
y(i)=-z.^2/4+1;
end
If you are dealing with floating point numbers, I would suggest you to use a tolerance to compare rather than equality.
As Rik mentions, logical indexing is another good option. If you can attach your data, we can run and test the code.
@Dyuman Joshi Thanks! Guess the for loop is alright.
@Rik Thanks! I will give it a try.

function y=Besselj_approx(n,z)
i = n ;
y=zeros(1,length(n));
y(1:end)=-z.^2/4+1;
y(i>0) = 1./gamma(i(i>0)+1).*(z/2).^i(i>0);
y(i<0)=(-1).^(-i(i<0))./gamma(-i(i<0)+1).*(z/2).^(-i(i<0));
