So i want to to store 10,000 values resulting from a for loop in a 1D array. How do I do that?
My file reads:
goal = 1000000;
needMoreMoney = true;
age = 30;
savings = 10000;
inheritence = randi(10,1,1);
rateOfReturn = (-3 + (12 - -3)*rand);
while(savings<=goal);
savings = savings + (savings * rateOfReturn) + 10000;
age = age + 1;
end
if(inheritence==4);
savings = savings + 10000;
end
hist(retirement_age)
disp('Savings made in dollars: ');
disp(num2str(savings,'%.2f'));
disp('At age: ');
disp(age);
Where do I add the for loop and how do I store the values in an array? I am very new to this so i would appreciate you using my case above to give me the answer. Thanks!

Are you sure that the rateOfReturn should not change inside the loop?
It is not clear to me, where the FOR loop should be inserted.

inheritence = randi(10,1,1);
rateOfReturn = (-3 + (12 - -3)*rand);
while(savings(end)<=goal);
savings(end+1) = savings(end) + (savings(end) * rateOfReturn) + 10000;
age(end+1) = age(end) + 1;
end
if(inheritence==4);
savings(end) = savings(end) + 10000;
end
%hist(retirement_age)
disp('Savings made in dollars: ');
disp(num2str(savings,'%.2f'));
disp('At age: ');
disp(age);

Notice that this iterative growing of an array is considered as bad programming style, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlemiel_the_Painter%27s_algorithm . Therefore it is recommended to avoid this strictly and apply a proper pre-allocation.

The standard method for storing values in a vector is:
n = 10000;
data = zeros(1, n); % Pre-allocation!!!
for k = 1:n
data(k) = rand; % Your calculations here
end
Or when the loop counter is not sufficient as index:
data = zeros(1, n); % Pre-allocation!!!
index = 0;
for k = 10:n+9
index = index + 1;
data(index) = rand; % Your calculations here
end
And when the exact number of required elements is not known in advance, allocate the maximum number of elements.
