EXAMPLES OF while–end LOOPS
Find the smallest number divisible by both three
and five whose square is greater than 3325?
Another version with all conditions in the while !
y = 0; x=3;
while (y <= 3325)
x = x + 3;
if rem(x,5) == 0
y=x^2;
end
end
x
x =
60
>>
Note negation
x =3;
while ~(rem(x,5) == 0
& x^2 <= 3325)
x = x + 3;
end
fprintf(‘The number is
%d\n,x)
The number is 60
