Thanks, though for equivalence I would need:

Which makes my version more compact familiar and readable.

The syntax of C++, java and no doubt many other languages allows use of the for loop with no end test. That Octave should join the crowd is all I was thinking.

the 1:inf would not work in C++/java, and I'd argue is not very clear or readable either. If you just want to avoid end test, how about:

while ++c

  if condition break endif

endwhile

although of course  you'd have to watch for c=0
