\section{Looping over vector elements}
Iterating over vector elements by means of a \mcode{for}-loop is a very commen pattern:

\begin{pagelisting}[caption={\varcode{for}-loop for accessing vector elements by indices}]
x = [2:3:20]; % Some vector.

\noindent
If the result of the computation within the loop are single numbers
that are to be stored in a vector, you should create this vector with
the right size before the loop:
\begin{lstlisting}[caption={\varcode{for}-loop for writing a vector}]
\begin{pagelisting}[caption={\varcode{for}-loop for writing a vector}]

The computation within the loop could also result in a vector of some
length and not just a single number. If the length of this vector
(here 10) is known beforehand, then you should create a matrix of
appropriate size for storing the results:

need to be combined into a single large vector:

\section{Scaling and shifting random numbers, zeros, and ones}
Random number generators usually return random numbers of a given mean
and standard deviation. Multiply those numbers by a factor to change their standard deviation and add a number to shift the mean.
\begin{lstlisting}[caption={Scaling and shifting of random numbers}]
