How can I select specific values using this loop?

So i want to use a loop to calculate the sine(in degrees) of specific intervals on a 360 degree scale

Here is what I have:

for x=0:60:360
s=sind(x)
end

What I want is to specifically use the for loop to calculate the sine of every value of x at 60 degree increments from 0 to 360 degrees. What could I do to correct my code?

I would not use the loop, and instead use MATLAB’s ability to use vectorised commands:

x = linspace(0, 360, 7);
s = sind(x);
Result = [x; s]

Result =
            0           60          120          180          240          300          360
            0      0.86603      0.86603            0     -0.86603     -0.86603            0

Definitely need to execute it as a loop for an assignment. This is part of a larger problem, but I need to start with doing this first step as a loop

Another untagged homework Question!

Oh, well ... since I already started:

x = linspace(0, 360, 7);
for k1 = 1:length(x)
    s(k1) = sind(x(k1));
end
Result = [x; s]

This produces the same ‘Result’ matrix as before, so I’ll not re-post it here.
