I have x= 5,15,25,30,45,60,65,70,75,90
other parameters (in the body of loop) depends on x values above
I have to run a loop
for i=min(x) : B :max(x)
Body
endfor
What shall be the B? How to go about it?

Note that you should not use i or j for your loop variable names, as these are the names of the inbuilt imaginary unit .

x = [5,15,25,30,45,60,65,70,75,90];
for i = 1:length(x)
% Get parameter values from x(i) and store them at i-th array positions
end

Good point, Stephen. I carelessly used 'i' here just because "i-th" is easier to pronounce than, say, "ix-th".

I'll admit, I like i as a loop variable. It is a throwback to my Fortran days, when i was the variable of choice for loops.
