Write a script that uses a for loop to calculate the product of the negative numbers between -1 and -53, in increments of -4 (−1, −5, · · · , −53).

I know how to create the number sequence its just a=(-53:4:-1) but I can't figure out how to multiply all of them together.

Example:

Number = 1;
for K = 1 : 10
  Number = Number * (K*2+1);
end

Also have a look on function prod

But prod() does not use a loop.

i don't know how to modify this code to the specific question. i have to compare the results to the prod command and i know how to do that
