Can you put a function inside a for loop?

I have this function:

%Outputs

%u - real number - horizontal velocity component due to doublet in global FoR

%v - real number - vertical velocity component due to doublet in global FoR % %Inputs

%p - 1 x 2 array - coordinates [x,z] of point at which to evaluate u,v

%p1 - 1 x 2 array - coordinates [x1,z1] of panel start point

%p2 - 1 x 2 array - coordinates [x2,z2] of panel end point %mu - real number - doublet strength

function [u,v]=cdoublet(p,p1,p2)

Can i put this function inside a for loop to get an array of u and another array for v? Of course, p, p1, p2 will also change for every iteration of the loop. Is it possible to put the function inside the loop?

Sure, e.g.,

 a = [5 4 3 2];
 for ii = 1:numel(a)
    b(ii) = times(a(ii),ii);
 end

You can have any other function instead of times inside the loop.

Hi Jacob

You have to make anoher function or script, lets call it 'main' in case you made a function, and in 'main' you can call 'cdoublet' and get its outputs, store them in an array and also change the values of p p1... in the main function.

But I suggest ou not to make a function, just write another script and put cdoblet ina for loop

x=[];
y=[];
for i=1:10
   p1=i;
   p2=i+1; % or what ever
   [x(i),y(i)]=cdoublet(p,p1,p2);
end

you can do this in a new sript file

Good Luck!
