The “continue” and “break” statements are defined for “for” and “while” loops. The
“continue ; ” statement skips the rest of the block and continues the next iteration of the
loop in the “for” or “while” loop. The “break ” statement breaks out of the current loop.

Decision Blocks: if and switch constructs.

if (expression1)
statements1
% execute the first block for which (expressionX) is true
% or non-zero
. . .
elseif (expression2)
statements2
. . .
elseif (expression3)
statements3
. . .

% (repeat elseif (exp) as many times as necessary)
else
statementsN
. . .
end

switch (switch_expr)
case (case_expr )
% Execute the block for which case_expr = switch_expr
statements
...
case {case_expr1,case_expr2,case_expr3,...}
statements
...
otherwise
statements
...
end

Example for “switch” construct,

method = ’Bilinear’;

switch lower(method)
case {’linear’,’bilinear’}
disp(’Method is linear’)
case ’cubic’
disp(’Method is cubic’)
case ’nearest’
disp(’Method is nearest’)
otherwise
disp(’Unknown method.’)
end
