So i want to to store 10,000 values resulting from a for loop in a 1D array. How do I do that?
My file reads:
goal = 1000000;
needMoreMoney = true;
age = 30;
savings = 10000;
inheritence = randi(10,1,1);
rateOfReturn = (-3 + (12 - -3)*rand);
while(savings<=goal);
savings = savings + (savings * rateOfReturn) + 10000;
age = age + 1;
end
if(inheritence==4);
savings = savings + 10000;
end
hist(retirement_age)
disp('Savings made in dollars: ');
disp(num2str(savings,'%.2f'));
disp('At age: ');
disp(age);
Where do I add the for loop and how do I store the values in an array? I am very new to this so i would appreciate you using my case above to give me the answer. Thanks!

savings(end+1) = savings(end) + (savings(end) * rateOfReturn) + 10000;
age(end+1) = age(end) + 1;
end

%hist(retirement_age)
disp('Savings made in dollars: ');
disp(num2str(savings,'%.2f'));

Notice that this iterative growing of an array is considered as bad programming style, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlemiel_the_Painter%27s_algorithm . Therefore it is recommended to avoid this strictly and apply a proper pre-allocation.

The standard method for storing values in a vector is:
n = 10000;
data = zeros(1, n); % Pre-allocation!!!
for k = 1:n
data(k) = rand; % Your calculations here
end
Or when the loop counter is not sufficient as index:
data = zeros(1, n); % Pre-allocation!!!
index = 0;
for k = 10:n+9
index = index + 1;
data(index) = rand; % Your calculations here
end
And when the exact number of required elements is not known in advance, allocate the maximum number of elements.
