run two loop in different script

i am running a loop in the first script, and in the second script there is loop generate random number "rN".

and there is a condition in the first script says:

if rN > 0.9
    c=('stop')
end

how i can combine these two script ?????

Please show your two scripts, or at least enough of a subset of them, to give us more detail.

Always in this cases is a good practice to show a full example of what you are doing. Do you have any reason for not doing the second script a function that it's called by the first one? The function of the second script can return rN and do your math with that

first scrript

%% animation part 
while( distanceToGoal > goalRadius )
    [v, omega] = step(controller, robot.CurrentPose);
    drive(robot, v, omega)
    robotCurrentLocation = robot.CurrentPose(1:2)
    distanceToGoal = norm(robotCurrentLocation - robotGoal); 
    if rN > 0.9
     c=('stop')   
    end
    end
    

second script

for i = 1 : 5
        rN = rand;
    pause(2)
     disp(['rN = ' num2str(rN)])
     end

%% animation part 
while( distanceToGoal > goalRadius )
    [v, omega] = step(controller, robot.CurrentPose);
    drive(robot, v, omega)
    robotCurrentLocation = robot.CurrentPose(1:2)
    distanceToGoal = norm(robotCurrentLocation - robotGoal);
    for i = 1 : 5
        rN(i) = rand;
        pause(2);
        disp(['rN = ' num2str(rN)])
    end
    if any(rN > 0.9)
      c = 'stop';
      %did you want to break out of the while loop here?
    end
end

Dear Walter Roberson,

if the code below strat

 for i = 1 : 5
        rN(i) = rand;
        pause(2);
        disp(['rN = ' num2str(rN)])
 end
 

the code below will stop working till finishing the loop

 while( distanceToGoal > goalRadius )

[Walter Roberson]

As rN values are generated, at what point should they become available to the other loop? As soon as possible after they are generated? After the 2 second pause? After the 'disp' ?

Should each iteration of the while loop be given the 5 random numbers, or should each iteration be given one random number? Should the 2 second pause affect the while loop?

1- rN values should they become available As soon as possible after they are generated?

2-while loop have to continue calculating till rN > 0.9, then (while loop have to stop to start another condition)

%% animation part 
while( distanceToGoal > goalRadius )
    [v, omega] = step(controller, robot.CurrentPose);
    drive(robot, v, omega)
    robotCurrentLocation = robot.CurrentPose(1:2)
    distanceToGoal = norm(robotCurrentLocation - robotGoal);
    rN = rand;
    disp(['rN = ' num2str(rN)])
    if rN > 0.9
        break;
    end
    pause(2);
end

[Walter Roberson]

In this code, one rN value will be generated for each while loop iteration. This achieves your goal that the while loop continues calculating until an rN > 0.9 is generated.

Many thanks dear
