The most basic way to display output in MATLAB is the disp() function. The name stands for "display" and it simply prints whatever value or expression you pass to the command window. The syntax is straightforward – pass the variable to disp() and the value prints immediately. A newline character is automatically added after printing.

There are three common ways: Type the name of a variable without a trailing semi-colon. Use the “disp” function. Use the “fprintf” function, which accepts a C printf-style formatting string. Here are examples: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Notes: “fprintf” uses the formatting string on each element of the variable.

Using the format function only sets the format for the current MATLAB session. To set the format for subsequent sessions, click Settings on the Home tab in the Environment section. Select MATLAB > Command Window, and then choose a Numeric format option. The following table summarizes the numeric output format options.

returns the possible values for the named property. If the possible values are strings, set returns each in a cell of the cell array, pv. For other properties, set returns an empty cell array. If you do not specify an output argument, MATLAB displays the information on the screen. h must be scalar.
