End Debugging Session

After you identify a problem, end the debugging session by going to the Editor tab and

clicking Quit Debugging. You must end a debugging session if you want to change

and save a file, or if you want to run other programs in MATLAB.

After you quit debugging, pause indicators in the Editor display no longer appear, and the

normal >> prompt reappears in the Command Window in place of the K>>. You no longer

can access the call stack.

If MATLAB software becomes nonresponsive when it pauses at a breakpoint, press Ctrl+c

to return to the MATLAB prompt.
