Figure 4.6. A family <strong>of</strong> curves for C = −5, −3, −1, 0, 1,<br />
3, and 5.<br />

fpr<strong>in</strong>tf(’Prime found, %d, exit<strong>in</strong>g loop.\n’,k)<br />
break<br />
end<br />
fpr<strong>in</strong>tf(’Current value <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dex k is: %d\n’,k)<br />
end<br />
Note that <strong>the</strong> output lists each value <strong>of</strong> k until a prime is found. The fpr<strong>in</strong>ft<br />
command issues a warn<strong>in</strong>g message and <strong>the</strong> break command term<strong>in</strong>ates <strong>the</strong> loop.<br />
Current value <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dex k is: 4<br />
Current value <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dex k is: 8<br />
Current value <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dex k is: 12<br />
Current value <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dex k is: 15<br />
Prime found, 17, exit<strong>in</strong>g loop.<br />
In this next code snippet, we want to pr<strong>in</strong>t <strong>the</strong> multiples <strong>of</strong> three that are less<br />
than or equal to 20. At each iteration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> while loop, <strong>Matlab</strong> checks to see if k<br />
is divisible by 3. If not, it <strong>in</strong>crements <strong>the</strong> counter k, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> cont<strong>in</strong>ue statment
