function [theta, J_history] = gradientDescent(X, y, theta, alpha, num_iters)
%GRADIENTDESCENT Performs gradient descent to learn theta
%   theta = GRADIENTDESENT(X, y, theta, alpha, num_iters) updates theta by 
%   taking num_iters gradient steps with learning rate alpha

% Initialize some useful values
m = length(y); % number of training examples
J_history = zeros(num_iters, 1);

for iter = 1:num_iters

    % ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
    % Instructions: Perform a single gradient step on the parameter vector
    %               theta. 
    %
    % Hint: While debugging, it can be useful to print out the values
    %       of the cost function (computeCost) and gradient here.
    %
    h = X * theta;
    err = h - y;
    theta_change = ( 1 /  m ) * ( alpha ) * (X'*err );



    % ============================================================

    % Save the cost J in every iteration    
    disp(class(X)); disp(class(y)); disp(class(theta));
    J_history(iter) = computeCost(X, y, theta);
