dbcont

Resume execution

Syntax

dbcont

Description

dbcont resumes execution of a MATLAB^® code file after pausing. Execution continues until another breakpoint is encountered, a pause condition is met, an error occurs, or execution completes successfully.

Note

If you want to edit a file as a result of debugging, then it is a good practice to first quit debugging. Otherwise, you can get unexpected results.

dbcont can only be called from the command line.

Resume Execution While Debugging

Resume the execution of a program while debugging using the dbcont command.

Create a file, buggy.m, that contains these statements.

function z = buggy(x)
n = length(x);
z = (1:n)/x';

Add a breakpoint at line 2 and run the code. MATLAB pauses execution at the breakpoint.

buggy(5)

Call dbcont from the command line to continue execution to the end of the program and end debugging.
