For loop with i+2 increment (only use odd index numbers)

[salasjad]

I would like to implement a for loop into my design where I only use odd numbers between 1-49. However, I am unable to do so as the index in for loop is set to only increment by one. Are there any smart solutions to this?

Thanks.

Hi salasjad,

Are there any smart solutions to this?

Well, is using simple math considered as "smart"?

What about a simple equation like "number := i*2+1" to calculate your odd numbers?

What about using a shift register initialized to 1 and getting incremented by 2 each iteration?

where I only use odd numbers between 1-49.

Based on this requirement ("using only odd numbers") you could even use a case structure inside the loop to only do some work when i is odd… 😄

I would not call it a "smart solution", but... take the index, multiply by two and add one.

you could even think about using something like the "Ramp Pattern.vi" function to create an array of odd numbers outside the loop.

There are plenty of ways, it's just math, right?
