set a if loop within a for loop

hi

I want to set an if loop within for loops

My idea is if the constraint satified then stop the for (j) loop and profit (i,j) does not exist; otherwise continue the loop and find the solution

but my code doesnt work well: it cannot stop the for loop when the if loop is satisfied

for i=1:numel(k) 
      for j=1:numel(lambda)

        if lambda(j)/(mu*k(i)) >= 1
          return
      else
      n = (0:(k(i)-1));
      W = 1/(sum((a).^n./factorial(n))+a^k(i)/(factorial(k(i))*(1-a/k(i))));

      profit(i,j) = lambda(j)*(p-w);
    end
end
end

Replace return with break.

yes thanks using break makes the corresponding profit(i,j) equal to zero but I want to set the value does not exist do you have any method??

Thanks a lot!!

[KSSV]

but I want to set the value does not exist not clear..what value you want to set?

[Luna]

I mean no value... I want to set if the constraint is satisfied the corrreponding point does not exist

You can initialize profit to a NaN matrix. Where ever it is not calculated you will get NaN.

   profit = NaN(numel(k),numel(lambda)) ;

it works. thanks!!!
