6. Debugging M-files

6. Debugging M-files

The chapter delves into debugging techniques for M-files, focusing on identifying and correcting errors. It outlines the process of debugging, including preparing for debugging, setting breakpoints, running M-files, examining values, and making corrections. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of ending a debugging session properly and the steps required to correct errors within an M-file.

What we have learnt

  • Debugging involves isolating and fixing errors in M-files.
  • Two main types of errors are syntax errors and run-time errors.
  • Utilizing the Editor/Debugger effectively expedites the debugging process.

Key Concepts

-- Debugging
The process of identifying and resolving errors in a program or code.
-- Breakpoints
Markers set in the code to pause execution and examine variables.
-- Runtime Errors
Errors that occur while a program is running, which can lead to unexpected results.
-- Syntax Errors
Errors caused by incorrect syntax that prevents the code from running.
