while and for loop

hi,

i have a very complex code. but the simplified version is this-

 x=10

 while x>3

 for i=1:10

 %some task which reduces the value of x, lets say

 x=x-1
 end
end

so basically what i want is that i want to get out of the while loop when x becomes less than 4. but matlab runs the for loop 10 times. i want matlab to run the for loop for 7 times. how do i do this?

give x=x-1 outside the for loop

add inside for loop

if x==3 % or if x < 4
  break
end
