I have a set of data that is varying throughout (force plate data) . I am trying to find the bodyweight of the particpants as it loops through the whole script. I tried to use the mode(A) function and it worked for most but not all as the data varies between them all. So, how can i write a loop that keeps using the mode function until it finds a value that is above 400 and below 1000?

see the idea of a 'while' loop. you'd want something like:
value = InF;
while ~(value>400 && value<1000 );
% perform operations
value = ??? % some updated value based on the operations at this stage
end

value = % calculate mode;
while 1
if ((value <= 4e2) && (value <= 1e3))
break
else
% value = calculate mode again , if it doesn't satisfy
end
end

Sometimes when a user talks about continuing to search until a condition holds, the code is more naturally of the form
while true
do some calculation
if a condition holds
break
end
do some more calculation
end
for example
while true
xnew = 1 - f(xold).^2;
if xnew > 0.99
break
end
xold = xnew;
end
Yes, the form could be rewritten as a while with a condition, but it is not always natural to do so
initialize variables so that condition is false
first_time = true;
while ~condition
if first_time
first_time = false;
else
do some more calculation
end
do some calculation
end

i agree completely that there are instances where this would be the natural way to do it. however, i did not (and still don't... ) see anything in the OP question that indicates it is 'more natural' here.
