MATLAB: How to Stop an M File

Question

I have several functions in an M File:

function myfun1
myfun2
end
function myfun2
myfun3
end

How can I stop executing a specific function and exit the script?

Answer 1

Hello,

You can use return in your script and function to exit.

For example,

function output = blah(input)
    if input == 5
       output = 1;
       return
    end
    ...
end

With a script:

...
output = blah(input)
if output == 1
   return
end
...

So in summary, you can use return just as you might in a function.

Hope this helps!
