Reading the documentation has massive advantages.

Did you look at the documentation?

doc while

In the documentation are examples.

a = 1;
b = 10;
c = 20;
d = 10000;

while a<b | c<d
  a = a + 1;
  c = c * a;
end

[TAB]

Shouldn't it be like this ; )

while a<b || c<d
  a = a + 1;
  c = c * a;
end

[Walter Roberson]

In new versions (R2012a and later I think it is), "if" and "while" automatically short-circuit "|" and "&" operations with scalar arguments. This does not apply to "|" and "&" in any other logical expression

@Walter: The | operator in IF expressions apply short-circuiting in Matlab 6.5 already. As far as I remember in WHILE also.
