While loop: value increases, break if not.

Is it possible to use while loop that checks if the variable is increasing each step and break if not?

Or I have to use for loop, something like this:

for i=2:N
   if x(i-1)>x(i)
   x(i)=0;
   end
end

You could use a while loop instead to run until a conditions is met, and it'll automatically break.

i = 2;
while x(i) <= x(i-1)
  i = i+1;
end

Or, you could use a break statement.

for i = 2:N
  if x(i) > x(i-1)
    break
  end
end
