Looping output values back as input

I'm pretty new to matlab and (programming in general). I've written a program that inputs 3 points' coordinates (assuming them to be circle centers) and outputs tangent point coordinates between those circles. My question is: how can I make the program take the output tangent points and run them back in as new inputs for a certain number of iterations? I'm sure I need to use a loop, but I'm not sure how to use it for this particular purpose.

InputValue=1;
for k=1:NumberOfIteration
OutputValue=MyFunction(InputValue);
InputValue=MyFunction(OutputValue);
end

Oh I see. Thank you. Would you happen to know how to handle the case where the output is conditional - for instance: if the slope between 2 points is infinite, the program handles that one way to produce the tangent point, but if it's not, it handles it another way.
I am not clear about your question. Do you mean if-else statement? Type "help if" to see an example.
Yes, an if-else. For instance, if the slope between 2 points is infinite, the tangent point outputted can't be calculated normally because the infinity term causes the expression to blow up, but otherwise it can be calculated normally.
So, what is your question. You don't know how to use if-else statement in MATLAB?
