Which loop do i use, loop or while. and how exactly would i use it?

I need to make an array where

h(1)= v/2
h(2)= floor(h(1,1))/2
h(3)= floor(h(1,2))/2

and on continuously until h(unknown)<0.5 "v" is a random variable that will be entered

so is it possible to make a loop that leaves the answer of each one of these in the h array, then

bin=([h-floor(h)].*2)

bin array should only be made of 1s and 0s

Either would work, but a while loop is probably more efficient in your application:

v  = 10;                                % Create Data To Test Code
h(1) = v/2;
k1 =  2;
while h(end) >= 0.5
    h(k1) = h(end)/2;
    k1 = k1 + 1;
end
bin = [h-floor(h)]*2;

unfortunately this does not "floor" the answer before dividing again eg. 45/2=22.5 22/2=11 11/2=5.5 5/2=2.5 2/2=1

see how the answers are always 0.5 or 0

the code doesn't work out right if 45/2=22.5 22.5/2=11.25 11.25/2=5.625 etc

I forgot to put the floor call in the loop:

v  = 45;                                % Create Data To Test Code
h(1) = v/2;
k1 =  2;
while h(end) >= 0.5
    h(k1) = floor(h(end))/2;
    k1 = k1 + 1;
end
bin = [h-floor(h)]*2;

bin =
     1     0     1     1     0     1     0
