what is the function of the while loop in this code

Please explain why is the while loop using the -0.00001>c< etc and the else

 function [ output_args ] = Reynoldsnumber( input_args )

D = .01;
v = [0 25 50 75 100 125 150];
WV= .0000008917;
e = .00006096;
RR = e/D;
p = 997.04;
F1 = 1;
F2 = 2;
c = 3;

Rey1 = (p.*v.*D)./WV;

while -0.00000001>c<0.00000001
    if -0.00000001>c
        F2=(-2.*log10(RR/3.7+(2.57./(Rey1.*sqrt(F1))))).^(-2);
        F1=F1+.001;
        c=F2-F1;
    else
        F2=(-2.*log10(RR/3.7+(2.57./(Rey1.*sqrt(F1))))).^(-2);
        F1=F1-.001;
        c=F2-F1;
    end
end

semilogx(Rey1,F2)

disp(Rey1)

    if true
      % code
    end

end

1) I'm pretty sure that MATLAB logic doesn't work for that while condition. It should be:

while -0.00001>c || c<0.000001;

Also, the logic statement itself doesn't make sense, as any negative number fulfills both conditions, so I assume it's supposed to be c > 0.00001.

2) The while loop is used to iteratively solve for F2. c is initially specified outside of the ending conditions, which is not true here, and is recalculated as the difference of F2 and F1 each loop until the difference between the two F values is small enough to be acceptable.

Unforutnelly I tried what you wrote and the graph comes up empty. The professor said it is the right way and it is correct. But I need to figure out the function of it and why is it that way for the presentation and I am coming up empty

Whether or not the code specifics are correct, that is definitely an iteration loop.
