How to write a function with a for loop

if t(i)=L1*(i-1)+ L[(i-1)/e]*t_k

i get

 t1=0;
 t2=L1;
 t3=2*L1+t_k;
 t4=3*L1+t_k;

where e=2 and i want to have a floor function for L[ (i-1)/e].How to create a function for the following with input e,imax,L1 and t_k like function delay(e,imax,L1,t_k) with a for loop

[TRISHITA BANERJEE]

Can any one verify if its correct

function t = delay (e, imax, L1 , t_k)
  t = cell(imax,imax);
for i=1:imax
  t(i) = L1 * (i-1) + round((i-1) / e)* t_k;

end

You mentioned floor() earlier, but here you use round() instead?

What's stopping you from trying? You'll quickly find out that it errors.

t = zeros(imax);

or probably better

t = zeros(1, imax);

would get rid of the error. Whether or not it's what you want, I don't know.

Note that the same can be achieved without a loop:

im = 0:imax - 1;
t = L1 * im + round(im /e) * t_k;

Thanks a lot
