12 Programming Tips
try
X = A * B
catch
errmsg = lasterr;
if(strfind(errmsg, 'Inner matrix dimensions'))
disp('** Wrong dimensions for matrix multiply')
end
For more information: See “Checking for Errors with try-catch” on page
8-2 in the MATLAB Programming documentation.
Nested try-catch Blocks
You can also nest try-catch blocks, as shown here. You can use this to
attempt to recover from an error caught in the first try section:
try
statement1
catch
try
statement2
catch
disp 'Operation failed'
end
end
% Try to execute statement1
% Attempt to recover from error
% Handle the error
Forcing an Early Return from a Function
To force an early return from a function, place a return statement in the
function at the point where you want to exit. For example,
if
return
end
