Trouble with While and If loops
显示 更早的评论
Hi, I am trying to test out an iterative process to converge on one value. I am trying to use while and if statements to converge on a test value of 5; however, my process causes matlab to infinitely loop between 5.00 and 5.100 rather than stopping at 5. My code is below and any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

while n~= 5
if n<5
n=n+.1
end
if n>5
n=n-.1
end
end

What is the initial value of n that you are using? Based on your increments, I think that your values of n would be typically oscillating between some constant values around 5.00. May be using function like abs(), floor(), ceil() will be useful in this case for convergence.

You have to think again about the condition in the WHILE statement or about the increments that you are using. To see why, assume that you are starting with n = 4.95, and generate a few iterations by hand.
You could make increments proportional to the difference between 5 and n, e.g. n=n+(5-n)/2, and implement some tolerance in the condition of the while statement, e.g. abs(5-n)>1e-3.
