Command Window

Use the Command Window to enter data, run MATLAB code, and display results. The Command Window includes a New to MATLAB? getting started message bar that provides quick access to videos, demos, and getting started information.

If you have an active Internet connection, you can watch the video demo, Working in the Development Environment for an overview of the major features.

The Command Window prompt indicates that MATLAB is ready to accept input. Enter statements at the prompt, which is also known as the command line. The appearance of the prompt varies:

• >> — Indicates that the Command Window is in normal mode.

• EDU>> — Indicates that the Command Window is in normal mode, in MATLAB Student Version.

• K>> — Indicates that MATLAB is in debug mode.

  Type dbquit to return to normal mode. For information on debugging, see Debugging Process and Features.
