% This file contains code that helps you get started on the
% linear exercise. You will need to complete the following functions
% in this exericse:
%
% warmUpExercise.m

% For this exercise, you will not need to change any code in this file,
% or any other files other than those mentioned above.

CostFunction:
function J = computeCost(X, y, theta)
%COMPUTECOST Compute cost for linear regression
% J = COMPUTECOST(X, y, theta) computes the cost of using theta as the
% parameter for linear regression to fit the data points in X and y
% Initialize some useful values
m = length(y); % number of training examples
% You need to return the following variables correctly
J = 0;
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: Compute the cost of a particular choice of theta
% You should set J to the cost.
J = 1/(2*m) * (X*theta-y)'*(X*theta-y);
