How to include a conditional function inside a "for k = 1 : 200" loop?

I am trying to contain a function inside a loop as mentioned. The loop is "for k = 1 : ite" where ite=200. The function I am calling contains conditional statements such as "if k == 1," and "if k > 1,". It is returning an error saying that k is undefined when running the conditional statement of the function. Do I need to load the k variable from the original code inside the function?

Can you explain ?

Yes, you need to pass the k value, and any other values used from the calling function, into your function that you call within the loop. Here's a simple example:

function my_function

a = rand(1,100);
ite = 100;
for k = 1:ite
   m(k) = process(k);
end

end

function x = process(idx)
   x = a(idx) > 0.5;
end
