How to terminate a running process in matlab ?

Question

I have a pretty simple question: how can I terminate a running script in matlab using code, similar to using CTRL + C?

I want the program to stop running if a user enters incorrect digits.

Answer 1

Use the error function. See doc error for more information.

Answer 2

If in debug mode, you can use dbquit. if you're in the main function, return terminates and returns. Otherwise use the error function.
