how do I convert this to a for loop

x = input('Enter a number between 1 and 100: ');

i = 0;

while x>0

x=x-i;

i=i+1;

end

fprintf('The while loop ran for %d interations\n' ,i)

% your while loop
x = input('Enter a number between 1 and 100: ');
i = 0;
while x>0
    x=x-i;
    i=i+1;
end 
fprintf('The while loop ran for %d interations\n' ,i)

% my for loop
x = input('Enter a number between 1 and 100: ');
for i = 0:100
    x = x - i;
    
    if x <= 0
        break;
    end
end 
fprintf('The while loop ran for %d interations\n', i + 1)

Enter a number between 1 and 100: 30
The while loop ran for 9 interations
Enter a number between 1 and 100: 30
The while loop ran for 9 interations

Don't understand the purpose of the loop.

x = input('Enter a number between 1 and 100: ');
for i=1:x
end 
fprintf('The for loop ran for %d interations\n' ,x)
