c=clock
d=c(3)
while d==c(3)
c=clock;
end
what's the meaning of"if you insist on running it,change both 3's to 5's "?

My guess would be until local midnight the day the program started.

Because if you do:
c = clock
the result (just now, GMT-6) is:
c =
2014 7 1 21 22 22.94
The third element is the day ( 1 here ), so since the loop continuously polls the clock function, that element will change to 2 at local midnight, d will no longer equal c(3) and the loop will stop.
If you change the 3’s to 5’s, the element changes to the minute element, and the program will run for at most one minute and then stop.
