### 13.2 Leaving Debug Mode

To leave the debug mode, use either `dbcont` or `return`.

— Command: dbcont

> In debugging mode, quit debugging mode and continue execution.

> See also: dbstep, dbquit.

To quit debug mode and return directly to the prompt `dbquit` should be used instead

— Command: dbquit

> In debugging mode, quit debugging mode and return to the top level.

> See also: dbstep, dbcont.

Finally, typing `exit` or `quit` at the debug prompt will result in Octave terminating normally.
