How to convert from a for loop to a while loop

Hi there,

I need to modify the set of codes below to a while loop, but are sturggling to.

for k = 2:length(vecTime)
    currentTime = vecTime(k);   
    currentDragCoeff = getDragCoeff(currentTime,tParaDeploy,dragAir,dragPara);
    % To be completed in lecture 
    vecSpeed(k) = vecSpeed(k-1) + (g - currentDragCoeff/mass*vecSpeed(k-1))*dt;
    vecHeight(k) = vecHeight(k-1) - vecSpeed(k-1)*dt;

end

Your help is much appreciated

for K = A : B
   some statement
end

is (except for odd cases) equivalent to

K = A;
while K <= B
   some statement
   K = K + 1;
end
