I am extremely new to mathematica and am having trouble following the
documentation.

I would like to set up the following loop and have it send the output
to a vector.

If I have in mathematica:

nsupports=3
ndof=10
nels=2
int=range[0,nsupports-1]        - this is my iterator

I want to set up a loop:

for x in int:
if x=0, return 0
if x=nsupports-1, return ndof-2
otherwise, return x*nels*2

I want the output to go to a column vector.

Thanks
Jared
