Program Control Statements

Program control is divided into these four categories:

• Conditional Control -- if, switch
• Loop Control -- for, while, continue, break
• Error Control -- try, catch
• Program Termination -- return

Note    You can often speed up the execution of MATLAB code by replacing for and while loops with vectorized code. See Techniques for Improving Performance for more information on this.
