how to use multiple 'for loop' for one function?

intersection_point = [];

for i = 1:length(mean_trajectory_double)-1

      for j = 1:length(RKSI_Arr_33R)

        for k = 1:length(RKSI_Arr_33R.Latitude)

        [I,check]=plane_line_intersect([mean_trajectory_double(i+1,1) mean_trajectory_double(i+1,2) NormalVectorsmean_trajectory_double(i+1,3)]...
            ,[mean_trajectory_double(i+1,1) mean_trajectory_double(i+1,2) mean_trajectory_double(i+1,3)]...
            ,[RKSI_Arr_33R(j).Longitude(k) RKSI_Arr_33R(j).Latitude(k)  RKSI_Arr_33R(j).BAlt(k)]...
            ,[RKSI_Arr_33R(j).Longitude(k+1) RKSI_Arr_33R(j).Latitude(k+1)  RKSI_Arr_33R(j).BAlt(k+1)]);
        intersection_point = [intersection_point;  ];
        end
      end
end

%% [I,check]=plane_line_intersect(n,V0,P0,P1)

I need to use multiple for loop for one function. I have used multiple for loop, but i have not used multiple for loop for one function.

this function need 4 input and 2 output(I,check). I is intersection_point and check is an indicator.

for more information about this function, https://kr.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/17751-straight-line-and-plane-intersection

What i want to do is that

when i is 1, j is 1 and k(1~100) is finished, it goes to i(1), j(2),k(1~100).

and j(1-200) is finisiehd, it goes to i(2),j(1),k(1~100) and i(2),j(2),k(1~100) like this.

if you need more clarification to answer my question, just tell me

Thanks.

Your loop will do as you describe. However, you're overwriting the I and check variables every iteration, without storing them anywhere.

but i got erros in this code.

error : length
too many input factors

and could you explain about 'overwriting'?

about your last comment, I have used this code.

I want to store data when i is iterated.

for example, i(1) = [1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]

i(2) = [2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2]

but i don't know how to do like this.

intersection_point = [intersection_point;  ];

Thanks Rik

For storing the intersection point you need to do this

intersection_point = [intersection_point; I ];

[Kenneth Joseph Paul]

Put a break point at

[I,check]=plane_line_intersect([mean_trajectory_double(i+1,1) mean_trajectory_......

And print each of the inputs to the function and make sure that the dimensions are right

[Sierra]

as far as i know, break terminates the execution of a for loop.

do i need to use break?

Kenneth means a "break point". Click in the bar on the left side in the editor. Then a red dot appears. Matlab stops at this point and you can check the varaibels used in this line.

The break command is something else.

[Kenneth Joseph Paul]

You need to use a "break point". As you said a "break" teminates the loop. A "break point" is used to temporarily pause the execution of the code. You can follow the page linked below, if you are not familiar with "breakpoint"

Please post the complete error message, if you mention an error. This message contains the information, in which line the problem occurs. I guess, it is here:

for i = 1:length(mean_trajectory_double)-1
      for j = 1:length(RKSI_Arr_33R)
          % RKSI_Arr_33R is a struct array
        for k = 1:length(RKSI_Arr_33R.Latitude)
            % Then RKSI_Arr_33R.Latitude is a list of arrays            

The innermost FOR loop should look like:

        for k = 1:length(RKSI_Arr_33R(j).Latitude)
        %                            ^^^        

What is the purpose of this line:

intersection_point = [intersection_point;  ];

This concatenates the array intersection_point with nothing. Maybe you want:

intersection_point = [intersection_point; I];

The readability of your code would profit fromusing much simpler names for the variables.

R = RKSI_Arr_33R;
M = mean_trajectory_double;
N = NormalVectorsmean_trajectory_double;
Intersection = [];
for i = 1:numel(M)-1
   for j = 1:length(R)
      Lat  = R(j).Latitude;
      Long = R(j).Longitude;
      BAlt = R(j).BAlt;
      for k = 1:numel(Lat)
         [I,check] = plane_line_intersect([M(i+1, 1:2), N(i+1,3)], ...
              M(i+1, 1:3), ...
              [Long(k),   Lat(k),   BAlt(k)], ...
              [Long(k+1), Lat(k+1), BAlt(k+1)]);
         intersection_point = [intersection_point; I];
      end
   end
end

In clear code, typos are much more obvious. In addition accessing a field in a struct costs time, so the simplified code runs even faster.

the error message is in Korean. so I wrote like that.

and where the function code shoul be located? between for i = 1:length and for j=1:length or for k=1:length and end ?

Thanks Jan.

[Jan]

"and where the function code shoul be located?" - what does this mean? I've mentioned, where I assume the error and how to fix it. Then I've posted a cleaned version of the complete code you have posted.

Concerning the original question: If the code does not containbugs, it is not problem to use nested loops inside one function.
