Skipping the for loop if condition is meet

Hello everyone,

for example,

a = 1, 2, 3,4,5
b=7,8,3,9,6

so i write code

for i=1:5
    c(i)=a(i)-b(i)
    if (a(i)==b(i))
        % if this condition is satisfied i.e. as a(3)=b(3) 
        % so i want that c(3) should be skipped and then c(4) should be calculated
        continue
    end
end

So what should i write in place of % so that it will skip the c(3) iteration and continue to further calculation.

Your code already seems to do that. What is your question? For this specific example, Torsten's code would work better.

idx = a~=b;
c(idx) = a(idx)-b(idx);
