Debugging Process and Features

You can debug the M-files using the Editor/Debugger, which is a graphical user interface, as well as using debugging functions from the Command Window. You can use both methods interchangeably. The example describes both methods. The debugging process consists of

• Preparing for Debugging
• Setting Breakpoints
• Running an M-File with Breakpoints
• Stepping Through an M-File
• Examining Values
• Correcting Problems and Ending Debugging

Some additional debugging options include

• Conditional Breakpoints
• Breakpoints in Anonymous Functions
• Error Breakpoints
