Output Text to Octave Console

Question

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?

Accepted Answer

You can use:

```
A = 5
printf("There are %d horses
", 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
```
