Running the Code Analyzer Report

The Code Analyzer Report displays potential errors and problems, as well as opportunities

for improvement in your code through messages. For example, a common message

indicates that a variable foo might be unused.

To run the Code Analyzer Report:

1 In the Current Folder browser, navigate to the folder that contains the files you want

to check.

To use the lengthofline.m example shown in this documentation, save the file to

the current folder, or to a folder for which you have write access. This example saves

the file to the current folder, C:\my_MATLAB_files.

copyfile(fullfile(matlabroot,'help','techdoc','matlab_env','examples','lengthofline.m'))

(^2) In the Current Folder browser, click , and then select Reports > Code Analyzer
Report.
The report displays in the MATLAB Web Browser, showing those files identified as
having potential problems or opportunities for improvement.
