Start FOR loop from specified iteration number

[NapDynamite]

Hi,

I want to start a Foor loop from 2 and end it to 5. Meaning that any process inside the foor loop must start from second loop and end till 5th loop. This is how my question would like in Matlab.

for i=2:5

Help is appreciated.

Wire a 4 to N and add two to the value coming from the iteration terminal.

This is what I'm trying to do

p=zeros(4,4);
for i=2:4
for j=2:4
p(i,j)=i+j
end
end

result should be

p =

0 0 0 0
0 4 5 6
0 5 6 7
0 6 7 8

You can not define the intial value of the iteration terminal in LabVIEW. The only legit solution is what is suggested earlier: wire 4 to the N terminal, and add 2 to the value of the I terminal. The result will be what you asked for.

Hope this helps.

Did what you told, getting correct values but how would I get the result in a matrix form as 

p =

0 0 0 0
0 4 5 0
0 5 6 0
0 0 0 0

I've attached a screenshot of what I did and what I'm geting.

You did not follow the instructions you were given. Wire 4 to the N terminals.

Originally you have asked for a different matrix. I suggest (as earlier) to try N=4 and not 2

Wired!

This is what I'm getting now

You should be aware that in LabVIEW the first element has index 0, while e.g. in matlab the first element has index 1

To get the above result, here's what you could do. (your elements are symmetric. If they are not, you might need to swap the index inputs, depending on what you actually want)

Here's what you could do... (initialize array replaces the "zeroes" function.

Have you used Replace array or Insert Into Array inside the second loop?

Can you please send me this VI? 😞
