- You don't need an m-file for that - just use:
-
- disp(['x measures blah blah, its value is ' num2str(x)]);
-
- If you want more control over the format of the numbers, you should
- use the fprintf command, e.g.
-
- fprintf('x measures blah blah, its value is %.4g\n',x)
-
- (you also have more explicit control over the line breaks).
