There are generally three ways to terminate the program that Matlab is running.
- hot key
- Close the Matlab program
- Add code to the script
1. Shortcut keys
Ctrl+C
Ctrl+break
Ctrl+Alt+break
If it is the code running on the server, after pressing the shortcut key, sometimes it takes a short time before the program stops.
2. Close the Matlab program
Sometimes the memory usage of Matlab is too high and there will be a crash. At this time, you can close the Matlab optimization program. To close Matlab, you can click x, or Ctlr+Alt+Delete, start the task manager and force it to close.
3. Add code
| code | meaning |
|---|---|
| quit | Terminate the MATLAB program. The quit function does not automatically save the workspace. |
| quit cancel | Applicable to finish.m script, it can be canceled and exited. It is invalid elsewhere. |
| quit force | Bypass finish.m and terminate MATLAB. When the finish script does not allow you to exit, you can use this syntax to overwrite the script. |
| quit(code) | Return the specified value as the MATLAB exit code. |
| quit(code,“force”) | Bypass finish.m and terminate MATLAB, returning the exit code at the same time. |
| return | Programmatically stop the execution of a function or script before it reaches the end |
Example: quit(0,"force")
