Stuck in an infinite loop when trying to use publish in Matlab

Question

%Question 1 


y=dtmfsig(150006260); 

%a
t= linspace(0,0.9,7200) 
plot(t,y)
title(\'DTMF time signal\')
xlabel(\'t (sec)\') 
ylabel(\' y(t)\' ) 




% Part B

fLH= [697         


        

Answer 1

The command publish executes the script whose name is given, and records the output. Your mistake is inserting this command into the script itself. This results in an infinite loop: the script runs, then at the end encounters publish command, which means it has to run again, so it does, and then encounters publish, etc.

You should invoke

publish('lab2question1.m','pdf')

from the command window, not from the script itself.
