hello , can anybody tell me how to calculate l2 norm of x=[2 3 -5 3 1] using for loop and without loop, and which one is efficient and fast?

n = norm( x );
does it without a loop. There is no reason to do it with a loop. Even if you don't use norm you would still vectorise is as:
n = sqrt( sum( x.^2 ) );
If you really want a loop the derivation is not difficult though. The vectorised version should certainly be faster, but you can test this yourself.

As Adam has mentioned in his answer, loop is not necessary but if it's a homework and you must use a loop, then read the documentation to know how it works and then use the for loop iterator to index through the vector.
