Thread Subject:

multiple loops?

I'm new to Matlab with little programming experience. Here's what I'm trying to do:
I want to cycle y(1,1) through all x's (x(1,1) to x(4,1)) and then cycle y(2,1) through all x's (x(1,1) to x(4,1)). I'm trying multiple loops but I can't seem to get this to work. I'm trying to apply this through a much larger dataset, so I'm starting small:

x=[2 5 6 1]'
y=[4 5]'

here are the conditions I just made up:
if x()>y();
z()=x();
else z()=NaN;
end;

The answer hopefully would be:
z=
NaN
5
6
NaN
NaN
NaN
NaN
6
NaN

Hint:

for J = 1:3
   for K = 1:5
    z(K,J) = x(K) * y(J);
   end
end
z(:)
