Newbie: The variable (k) of the for loop inside a while

Hi

I have been programming for a short time with matlab and I have a question regarding this code:

for k=2:numel(UntitledCount)

    if UntitledCount(k-1)~=UntitledCount(k) 

        while Voltage(k-11)<Voltage(k-10) && Voltage(k-11)<27

        y=y+1;

        k=k+1;

        end;

    topen=y*0.01;

    topenarray(m)=topen; 

    m=m+1;

    y=0;   

   end;

end;

The question is: The variable k, once has been increased during the while, when the condition of the while doesn't meet anymore, and it goes to the for loop again, the value of k remains the same before having been increased during the while loop or does it remain updated after the while?

At the start/end of each for loop, the loop variable is reset to the next value.

 for i = 1:5
  disp(i)
  i = i + 1;
  disp(i)
 end
Will produce
