➢ fprintf
• Formatted output can be printed to the screen using the fprintf function. For example:
• The fprintf function, first a string (called the format string) is passed, which contains any text to be
printed as well as formatting information for the expressions to be printed.
• The character in the placeholder is called the conversion character, and it specifies the type of value
that is being printed. There are others of the simple placeholders:
Placeholder Description Example
(character)
%d Format as a integer >> fprintf ( '%d', 4^5)
>>1024
%f Format as a floating point value >> fprintf ( '%f', sqrt(90.25))
>>9.500000
%g Format as the most compact >> fprintf ( '%g', sqrt(90.25))
form (no trailing zero) >>9.5
%e Format as a floating point >> fprintf ( '%e', pi)
value in scientific notation >>3.141593e+000
%s Format as a string >> fprintf ('%s', '3*8/2')
>>3*8/2
\n Insert a new line in the output >> fprintf ('Welcome! \n this is MATLAB')
string >>Welcome!
this is MATLAB
\t Insert a tab in the output string >> fprintf ('Welcome! \t this is MATLAB')
>>Welcome! this is MATLAB
Notes :
It’s important adding the character \n at the end of output string in order to avoid the
prompt (>>) from stick to the result as shown before.
❑ The character \n can also use in input function, for example:

>> h = input ('Enter \n The shape height :')

Enter
The shape height :

❑ The character \n in form ‘\n\n’ use to get blank line in output, for example:
>> fprintf ('Hello \n\n This is MATLAB \n')
Hello
This is MATLAB

❑ field width can also be included in the placeholder in fprintf, which specifies how many
characters total are to be used in printing.
▪ %5d would indicate a field width of 5 for printing an integer and
▪ %10s would indicate a field width of 10 for a string.
▪ %6.2f means a field width of 6(including the decimal point and the decimal places)
with two decimal places.
▪ %.3f indicates three decimal places.
