I want to run something from script and edit in the console. For example, pseudo code
1) I run a Monte Carlo simulation for 5 min, I got simulation results. > my_sim = mcmc(1000) 2) I calculate the mean, var, sd, of the simulated numbers > mean = sum(my_sim)/100 > and so on... 3) I want to revise my mean and sd formula For step 3, you can just highlight that portion of the script with the modified formula. It's very convenient! In another word, I want to do trial and error, play with the code and see what comes out. Not running everything from the top every time. Thank you for all your suggestions, I appreciate it!
