Command windows doesn't respond after entering a code.

30 views (last 30 days)
Hi all,
This is probably a really basic mistake, but i couldn't find the solution on google.
I've encountered a problem in my command window.
after entering this:
>> A=[11 2 5 7 4 2 9];
>> groter=A>5
A really simple exercise in order to check which number in A is greater than 5, I got this in my history:
%-- 15/05/14 14:10 --%
Now the 2 arrows (>>) disappeared in the command window and it doen't respond to anything i type. I tried end like suggested a lot in loops, but I don't think this is a loop.
How can I solve this annoying thing?

What exactly did you enter?
.
I copy&paste
A=[11 2 5 7 4 2 9]; >> groter=A>5
including the characters, >>, to the command window and hit [Enter]. Matlab R2013a responded as you describe; the prompt ">>" did not appear. Cntr+C made Matlab return to its normal state.
I repeated this a few times.
.
Proposal: Restart Matlab and enter
A=[11 2 5 7 4 2 9]; % and press |Enter|
groter=A>5 % and press |Enter|
that should perform as expected
.
Conclusion: It seems as if the characters, ">>", in certain combinations confuses Matlab.

Hello, I have launched Matlab for the first time on my machine and I don't see the double arrows ">>" at all. Hence Matlab does not return anything. I have closed Matlab and relaunched it and it does not help. Do I need to parametrize anything? (I did not find any help on google or elsewhere).
