1. Writing to Text Files
- You can use fprintf to write data to text files. This is especially helpful when you want to save the results of your calculations or export them for further analysis in other software.
2. Formatting Output
- fprintf offers a wide range of formatting options to customize the appearance of your data. You can use format specifiers like %d for integers, %f for floats, %s for strings, and many more.
- These specifiers can be combined with flags and width/precision modifiers to control things like decimal places, alignment, and padding.
3. Printing to Command Window
- fprintf can also be used to print formatted data directly to the MATLAB command window. This is useful for displaying intermediate results or debugging your code.
- The syntax for printing to the command window is the same as writing to files, except you omit the fileID argument.
