How do I clear the screen after typing a part of for loop ?

>> for i = -100:100
    for j = -100:100 
    r = [i j 40]
   end




clear
clc
clclclclc
clc
exit
exit()
clc

Above is the code , I typed and I want to return back to clear screen. clc does not work here. How do I get back to a blank screen without closing the application and using some command which terminates what I have typed till now?

Once you've started with a for (or while) statement at the command prompt, matlab waits for you to enter the corresponding end statement before evaluating everything that you've typed. You can see that you are in this mode because there's no >> prompt when you enter statements.

If at any point you decide you no longer want to execute these statements, then press CTRL + C to return back to the >> command prompt.
