how to set the maximum iteration while looping

m=50;
c=10;
tol=m-c;

while tol>0
    
    c=c+5;
    tol=m-c;
   
        if tol<0;
            break
        else
            disp 'amacam?'
        end

    disp ('Table for iteration');disp ('     m    c     tol ');
    format shortG
    disp ([m',c',tol',]);
    
        
end   

**I want to stop the looping at 5th iteration wihout considering the value of tol. Can somebody help?

Before the loop:

iter = 0;

Then change the while to

while iter <= 5 && tol > 0
    iter = iter + 1;

Thanks Walter. This is so much helpful!

You should think through whether you want to test iter <= 5 or iter < 5
