Fibonacci sequence for loop

Hey guys, I'm trying to write in Matlab Grader a function that returns a vector containing all elements of the Fibonacci sequence that are smaller or equal than m.
This is my code:
function fibonacciValue=fibonacciValue(m)
fibonacciValue(1) = 1;
fibonacciValue(2) = 1;
n=3;
while fibonacciValue(n-1) < m;
fibonacciValue(n) = fibonacciValue(n-1)+fibonacciValue(n-2);
n=n+1;
end
The goal is to display the sequence up to the number equal to m; e.g. fibonacciValue(3)=[1,1,2,3] and fibonacciValue(10)=[1,1,2,3,5,8].
The problem is that it works for m=3, but not for higher numbers.
fibonacciValue(3)

fibonacciValue(10)

Does anybody knows how to fix this?
Thanks!!

Your while loop does not exit when you probably think it should...
Actually you will get the correct answer for m=3, 5, 8, 13, etc., as then the final loop iteration will generate exactly that value. But what happens when m is not one of the numbers in the fibonacci sequence? Then your loop will calculate one more iteration and return a vector one element longer than you want.
One simple solution is to use <= and remove the last vector element:
m = 10;
V = [1,1];
while V(end)<=m; % less-than or equal
V(end+1) = sum(V(end-1:end));
end
V = V(1:end-1) % you need this!

Alternatively, you can take the n-2 value into account
while fibonacciValue(n-1)+fibonacciValue(n-2) < m
% ...
and not have to remove the last element
