4 - Chapter 5 Loop Statements and Vectorizing Codes

This document outlines a lecture on structured programming and loops in MATLAB for building and civil engineers. It discusses the different types of loops in MATLAB, including for loops, nested for loops, while loops, and how vectorization can be used instead of loops. The key topics covered are counted loops, conditional loops, using loops to sum numbers, pre-allocating vectors, plotting with loops, nested loop examples, counting and multiple conditions in while loops, and examples of vectorization for operations on vectors and matrices.
