Modify the following program in order to get rid of the break statement without affecting the behavior of the program

a = rand(1, 10);
index = 1;
while index <= size(a, 2)
  if a(index) > .7
    break
end;
  a(index)
 index = index + 1;
end;

Hi Taylie,

I am not sure why you want the 'break' to be removed. However, the following code works - but NOT an elegant way of doing it.

a = rand(1, 10);
index = 1; 
while index <= size(a, 2) 
    if a(index) > .7 
        index = size(a,2) + 1; 
    else 
        a(index) 
        index = index + 1; 
    end
end

Thanks,

Nobel.

Hi Nobel,

Thank you for answering. I'm just starting to learn the ropes of matlab and this was one of the exercises questions, so not something I was actually working with in the program.
