Please clarify---perhaps you used 'end' after an 'if' block contained in
a 'for' loop, and you wonder if it ends the 'if' or the 'for' block?

for i=1:10

 if i==5

     i

 end

end


'end' nests, so it should work properly, as you can see by running the
above code. Of course it will also work , and will be more readable, if
you write it like this

for i=1:10

 if i==5

     i

 endif

i've used it to close if statement


thank you for answer

not clear what you mean for "cycles"

you can use "end" instead of "endif" for closing
a "if" statement, but it is not recommended

=============================
'not clear what you mean for "cycles"' - most likely loops. In Russian "cycles" is used instead of "loops". Probably not only in Russian.

Hello Sergei,

this is correct for Octave, but please keep in mind that Matlab (2016a) does
not support "endif" and "endfor". So when you have to cooparate with people
using Matlab, you could instead use "end%if" and "end%for" which will
increase readability of your code, though you will losse Octave's advanced
diagnostic abilities as mentioned in your link.

Mmm, thinking about it, it would actually be great if Octave would accept end%if as an alias of endif and end%for as an alias of endfor. This would bring the best of the two worlds, keeping all Octave's goodness, while keeping Matlab compatibility.

Sending it to maintainers to see if Octave Devs would consider this as a feasible option...
