printf — Emulator of C language printf function
printf(format,value_1,..,value_n)
| format | : a Scilab string. Specifies a character string combining literal characters with conversion specifications. |
| value_i | : Specifies the data to be converted according to the format parameter. |
| str | : column vector of character strings |
| file | : a Scilab string specifying a file name or a logical unit number (see file) |
The printf function converts, formats, and writes its value parameters, under control of the format parameter, to the standard output.
The format parameter is a character string that contains two types of objects:
| Literal characters | : which are copied to the output stream. |
| Conversion specifications | : each of which causes zero or more items to be fetched from the value parameter list. see printf_conversion for details |
If any values remain after the entire format has been processed, they are ignored.
printf('Result is:\nalpha=%f",0.535)
