Stopping itteration

[Jehad Zughyer]

I am making this MDP value iteration algorithm and getting
stuck on how to stop it when the difference between the
last value and the older one is less than epsilon. Here is
the code:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
pij=[0.5 0.5 0; 0.5 0 0.5; 0 0.5 0.5];
ri=[4;0;-8];
VT=ri;

for n = 1:100
%%%%while (new VT-old VT)>=0.005 (how do I make this??)
s=1:3;
k=1:3;

discountedsum =pij(s,k) * VT(k);
VT=ri(s)+ 0.5*(discountedsum)

%%%end
end
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Here is an example of how to do this kind of thing. The cnt
simply lets you know how many times the loop iterated.

VT1 = 20;
VT2 = 1;
cnt = 0;

while abs(VT2-VT1)>=0.005
VT2 = VT1;
VT1 = VT1/2;
cnt = cnt + 1;
end
cnt

You will have to modify this for your application because
your VT is an array, not a scalar. For example:

if ([2 3]>[1 5]),disp('inside the if'),end
if ([2 3]>[1 0]),disp('inside the if'),end
