Replacing a for loop with a while loop?

I'm given the following code:

x = 1;
for i = 1:5
x = x*i;
end

And then I'm asked to rewrite the script using a while loop such that it would yeild the same result.

Being relatively new to MATLAB and having a poor grasp on loops, I have no idea how to attempt this.

 hi,

Using while, you need to increment the variable manually, :

 y=1;
 time=1;
 while time<6
 y=y*time;
 time=time+1;
 end

x=1; i=0;
while i<5
 i = i+1;
 x = x*i;
end
