End a Program in MATLAB with Error-Checking: Troubleshooting Tips

[Jelfish]

Hi

I've been trying to figure this out for a bit and thought one of you might know the answer off the top of your head.

I have an if-statement in my MATLAB program that error checks a matrix and vector size. I want the program to print an error message and then end the program (like a ctrl-c) if the error condition is satisfied. Something like this:

if a~=b
fprintf('STFU N00B');
??
end
% other stuff

where ? is the function the would end the program. Does such a function exist, and if so, what is it?

Thanks in advance.

STFU NOOB? Heh heh heh...That's funny. Sorry I can't help on the Matlab part.

if you are writing a function, your output variables have been defined, and you want them passed, you can also use the 'return' command.

yes there is a breaker that ends the MATLAB exe...unfortunately i haven't played with MATLAB for 3 years.

Thanks, Brad! That's exactly what I needed. LeBrad = awesome;

And thanks to everyone else too
