Output Text to Octave Console

Lets say I have a variable A=5 and i want to output it, but with some text added in front and after it. Something like this: "There are 5 horses." (mind that 5 should be changable variable A)

If I write: disp("There are "),disp(A),disp(" horses.") I get: 

There are 
5
 horses.

BUT I want everything in one line.

How do I do that?

Solution

  • You can use: 

    A = 5
printf("There are %d horses\n", A)

    output: 

    There are 5 horses

    or even

    disp(["There are ", num2str(A), " horses"])

    or even

    disp(strcat("There are ", num2str(A), " horses"))

    but you will have to add something because octave/matlab don't let the white space at the end of a string, so the output is: 

    ans = There are5 horses
