Create a variable with numbers and another variable with text.

A = [15 150];
S = 'Hello World.';

Display the value of each variable.

disp(A)

    15   150

disp(S)

Hello World.

Display a matrix and label the columns as Corn, Oats, and Hay.

X = rand(5,3);
disp('     Corn      Oats      Hay')

     Corn      Oats      Hay

disp(X)

    0.8147    0.0975    0.1576
    0.9058    0.2785    0.9706
    0.1270    0.5469    0.9572
    0.9134    0.9575    0.4854
    0.6324    0.9649    0.8003

Here are three ways to display multiple variable values on the same line in the Command Window.

Concatenate multiple character vectors together using the [] operator. Convert any numeric values to characters using the num2str function. Use disp to display the result.

name = 'Alice';   
age = 12;
X = [name,' will be ',num2str(age),' this year.'];
disp(X)

Alice will be 12 this year.

Use sprintf to create text, and then display it with disp.

name = 'Alice';   
age = 12;
X = sprintf('%s will be %d this year.',name,age);
disp(X)

Alice will be 12 this year.

Use fprintf to directly display the text without creating a variable. However, to terminate the display properly, you must end the text with the newline (\n) metacharacter.

name = 'Alice';   
age = 12;
fprintf('%s will be %d this year.\n',name,age);

Alice will be 12 this year.
