Command windows doesn't respond after entering a code.

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.

Thank you for the quick response. This works for me.

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).
