Simple command line progress information for “for” loops

Displays progress information for “for” loops at the command window.
Takes inputs: i is current iteration and n is total number of iterations
NOTE: Call tic before loop and loopCount(i,n) before loop end
• Displays the current iteration out of the total to command window
• Also displays the time elapsed and time remaining.
• Times given in seconds, minutes or hours to aid clarity
• Gives update every 5 seconds
EXAMPLE:
>> n=3; w=6; tic;
>> for i=1:n
>> pause(w);
>> loopCount(i,n);
>> end
Outputs on the command line:

. Time elapsed: 6 seconds. Time remaining: 12 seconds
Completed iteration 2 of 3
