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