For loop is not working

i"m trying to map values of Y(:,:,k) to specific positions of YT(:,:,alpha) but this code is not working.

 for alpha=1:NumberofLines 
    YT(:,:,alpha) = Y(:,:,k);  
    alpha= j+1
    j=j+j
    k=k+1
    if (alpha > NumberofLines)
        break
    end
end

Please help!

Where did you set j? Also, redefining your loop iterator, alpha, inside the loop is not advisable. You can do it, but when it gets to the bottom of the loop, it takes on the value from the "for" line, it does not retain the value you set it to. And why are you setting j equal to j+j?

Thank you so much for your help. I introduced new variable for loop iterator (not using alpha anymore) and now loop works fine.
