Hi I have problem with vectorizing in MATLAB that im not even sure there is possible way to do it, i glad if you can check it as well.
a(1)=1000;
for i=1:20
a(i+1)=sqrt((a(i)+1));
end
Is there any way to vectorizing it or i should use "for" when i want use this type of functions?
i tried search for answer, i didnt find any, i hope some one can answer me thanks.

It is in general not possible to vectorize sequential calculation like yours.

i wrote a code that there is lots of sequential fuction in it.
and when i show it to some one, he told me you use lots of "for" it increase your running time. btw thanks for your time sir.

You are miss informed by this person.
It all depends what you do inside the for-loop. Yours look OK to me.
