while true vs. for i= 1:Inf
显示 更早的评论
So I was recently posed with the question, what is the difference between a while true loop and a for i = 1:Inf loop. I have done quite a bit of research, but I cannot seem to come up with an answer. Do you know?

The for-loop provide the loop-variable, ii. Why, is that interesting?

In addition to what Per Isakson has written, I would add that the loop variable, after a certain point, will lose precision and become ill-defined. I think MATLAB will try to gracefully provide a value for ii, but after a point the successive ii's will be equal to each other until the background rounding scheme clocks it over into the next representable value. (As I recall, there was a previous similar thread some time ago that explored this topic)

k=0;
while rand<0.8
k=k+1;
end
The while loop will run until a condition rand < 0.8 is false, we don't know when it occurs, because rand is a random number. In this case we can't use a for loop

Why not? Even if slightly longer code...
for k=1:Inf,
if rand>=0.8,
break,
end;
end;

Because it might take more than 281474976710655 iterations which is the limit for 1:inf loops.
