How to stop a script from executing

This is a basic question but I am wondering how you can halt a script from executing mid script.

Answer 1

[bym]

Ctrl-c (control + c keys)

[AMM Nazmul Ahsan]

It doesn't work.

[Walter Roberson]

It does generally work, but it does not take effect until the next time that MATLAB gets control. The symbolic computation engine is not under MATLAB's control for this purpose; and execution of heavy computation in the high performance math libraries is not under MATLAB's control for this purpose. Also, mex files and DLL are not under MATLAB's control for this purpose.

[Hayden Mann]

Make sure you click on the command window then press Ctrl + c.

Answer 2

[Paulo Silva]

%code
error('Mid script reached, this error message was made on purpose')
%code

Another alternative could be the use of the return function
