In Matlab, you can iterate over the elements in the list directly. This can be useful if you don't need to know which element you're currently working on.

Thus you can write

for elm = list
%# do something with the element
end

Note that Matlab iterates through the columns of list, so if list is a nx1 vector, you may want to transpose it.
