Matlab: how to stop command window printing?

Question

Sometimes I accidentally print a say 5000x5000 matrix, which takes a long time. How can I stop the command window from printing?

I am using Matlab R2015a on a Mac. Thank you very much.

On a Windows machine, it's Ctrl + C. This stops executing code as well as printing. I assume it is comparable on a Mac: Ctrl + C.

It's still Ctrl + C on a Mac. I've corrected that, as well as several typos. – rayryeng Nov 19 '15 at 21:47

Sorry for the short and not very appealing answer.

clc to clear the command window, ctrl+c to stop execution and ; at the end of the line you don't want to print will suppress the command window output.
