In a while loop, I have to calculate S (net cash of an insurance company) depending on which events (E1, E2 or E3) happens first. I tried the following code, but its not working. Maybe someone can help me ...

lambda =...
T =..
.....
while (temps < T)
        E1 = exprnd(1/(lambda*n)); 
        E2 = exprnd(1/mu); 
        E3 = exprnd(1/(nu*n)); 
        A = [E1, E2, E3];
        if (min(A) = E1)
            temps = temps + E1;
            if (temps < T)
                S = ......
            end
        else
            temps = temps + E2;
            if (temps < T)
                S = .......
            end
        else
            temps = temps + E3;
            if (temps < T)
                n(i) = ..........
                S = ......

I don't understand what you want to do, or the reason behind any of your code. You don't explain your input data, nor the intended output. None of your code is commented, nor is it formatted correctly.

Neither working, provide proper code or write an example of it.

if (min(A) = E1)
else % elseif?
else % else

There seems to be few syntax errors in the code. You can use multiple elseif block under the if block but only a single else block. The variables ‘n’ and ‘S’ are being used as scalars and hence indexing into those variables may throw an error.
