why is the cursor different?

Hai,

When I run the program, in the middle of the program, K>> appears on the command window, and waiting for input, is displayed on the task bar below. If I press ctrl+c to halt the program, it is not working. What should I do to overcome this problem? Looking for your reply.

K>> indicates either that you are in the debugger or that your program has executed an input() statement. You could try giving the command

dbstat

to see where you are; if you are not in the debugger then it will say so.

Did you perhaps try to use "input" as a variable name? Using MATLAB routine names as variable names tends to lead to problems.

If you have input() requests then it is best to supply a prompt string as part of the call so that the user knows what is expected.

how to halt the program in such situations?

Make sure the editor toolbar is shown, then you can click on the icon that looks like a page with a down arrow and a red X on it to stop the program when you're stopped at a breakpoint or stepping through the program with F10.
