For-Loop for multiple plots or histograms

Dear all,

I am fairly new to matlab programming and I constantly struggle with tiresome repetitive constructs in my code. For example, I'd like to plot multiple histograms in a tiledlayout construct and apply the same xlim/ylim to each of them (see code below). Can someone indicate how i might use a loop to tidy up my code a bit and iterate through the histograms? Inputs in my code are different time series of returns, that are stored as individual variables.

figure
tiledlayout (1,3)
nexttile
histogram(SPNL)
xlim([-0.1 0.1])
ylim([0 800])
nexttile
histogram(EXNL)
xlim([-0.1 0.1])
ylim([0 800])
nexttile
histogram(NKNL)
xlim([-0.1 0.1])
ylim([0 800])

Thank you very much in advance!

Put the data into a cell array and then loop through the cell array.

figure
tlo = tiledlayout (1,3);
data = {SPNL, EXNL, NKNL}; 

for i = 1:numel(data)
    ax = nexttile(tlo);
    histogram(ax, data{i})
    xlim(ax, [-0.1 0.1])
    ylim(ax, [0 800])
end

Terrific! That works perfectly, thanks a lot.
