How to convert for loops to parfor loops?

Hi guys, I'm new to Matlab. I have a question on converting for loops to parfor

I have a simple code just like below:

 for i = 1:11
 bucket(i) = bucket(i) + bucket(i-1)

Now, I know I cant convert directly because of the variable bucket(i), is there another way to convert this loop? I even tried using function for the body of the loop but the out come was different than expected.

Thank for your help

No, that loop has an order dependence that cannot be removed. Any particular iteration cannot be computed until the iteration before is done to compute bucket(i-1) . parfor can only be used when the iterations can be calculated in any order.
