Ending Debugging

After identifying a problem, end the debugging session. You must end a debugging session if you want to change and save an M-file to correct a problem, or if you want to run other functions in MATLAB.

Note It is best to quit debug mode before editing an M-file. If you edit an M-file while in debug mode, you can get unexpected results when you run the file. If you do edit an M-file while in debug mode, breakpoints turn gray, indicating that results might not be reliable. See Valid (Red) and Invalid (Gray) Breakpoints for details.

To end debugging, click the Exit Debug Mode button , or select Exit Debug Mode from the Debug menu.

You can instead use the function dbquit to end debugging.

After quitting debugging, the pause indicators in the Editor/Debugger display no longer appear, and the normal prompt >> appears in the Command Window instead of the debugging prompt, K>>. You can no longer access the call stack.
