Calculator with arithmetic sequences as input values

Hello,

I'm writing because I can not figure out how to solve the problem.

I have created a calculator to calculate the force at a certain depth, now I'm trying to make make it show different values at different depths.

The values for imput are Minimum depth of a hole, maximum depth and the common difference alongside other constants.

I want it to calculate the force for every value and show values of all the forces.

Example: Minimum depth=1mm ; Maximum depth=5mm; Common difference=1mm.

F=H*a*b; where H is the depth, F is the force and a and b are the constants.

Force (at 1mm)= 100N ; Force (at 2mm) = 200N ; Force (at 3mm) = 300N ...

I have tried it with the for loop, but I had no luck.

I would be very grateful for any help.

Aleksej - since a and b are constants, does that mean that H is the only variable that will change value on each iteration of your loop? Is H the minimum depth, the maximum depth, or the commond difference?

Hello,

In the first version of the calculator I only had the H which was THE depth. This was the only variable.

So the input values were for example: Depth (H), speed (constant),.... With this version I could only get one result (one force value).

But in the second version I have to make Hmin, Hmax and the common difference.

So it will be: Minimum depth (Hmin), Maximum depth (Hmax) and the common difference (let's say its symbol is D).

ok...so perhaps the following will help (I'm guessing as to your intentions of the minimum, maximum, and commond difference)

a = 42; % dummy value
b = 2;  % dummy value
minDepth = 1;
maxDepth = 5;
commonDiff = 1; % your step size (?)
F = zeros(5,1);
k = 1;
for h = minDepth:commonDiff:maxDepth
    F(k) = h*a*b;
    k = k + 1;
end
