5. Control flow and operators
Control flow structures in MATLAB are essential for managing the execution of commands based on conditions. This chapter introduces various control flow structures such as the if statement, for loop, while loop, and switch statement, along with an understanding of relational and logical operators. Additionally, it covers how to save program output to files and emphasizes the importance of operator precedence in MATLAB expressions.

What we have learnt
- MATLAB supports multiple control flow structures for efficient programming.
- Relational and logical operators are integral to decision-making in MATLAB.
- Understanding operator precedence is crucial for building correct expressions.
Key Concepts
- -- If Statement
- A control structure that executes a block of code based on a given condition.
- -- For Loop
- A control structure that allows repeated execution of code for a fixed number of iterations.
- -- While Loop
- A control structure that continues to execute a block of code as long as a specified condition is true.
- -- Operator Precedence
- Rules that define the order in which operators in an expression are evaluated.
- -- File Output
- The process of saving program output to a file using functions like fopen and fprintf.
