How to write this for loop as a while

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how I could rewrite this for loop as a while loop only using the variables y and k.
y = 0.0;
for k = 1:4:999
y = y + k*k;
end
Thanks!

One deleted comment and a username change. These things make me suspicious. Before more is going to disappear: link.

Every for-loop can be re-written to a while-loop.
y = 0;
k = 1;
while k<=999
y = y + k*k;
k = k + 4;
end

You can find guidelines for posting homework on this forum here. At the very least you should have mentioned this is homework and have included the exact assignment text. You are not repeating all essential information, either because you don't understand Matlab well enough yet, or because you think it is a trivial detail.

In your now-deleted comment you mentioned the exact assignment text:
"What are the appropriate MATLAB statements if instead of a for loop a while loop is used? In doing so, use only the variables k and y."
My answer is the solution to that question, although, as you can see in Jan's comment, you don't need a loop at all.
Note that my previous comment is not meant as a slur at all. I am well aware nobody is born knowing every detail about Matlab or the mores of this forum. The first you are already solving by doing the course you're doing, the second I tried to remedy by telling you and linking you a thread.
