Matlab: how to display the “real” values of an arr

Question

I have a vector that is caluculated in a script.

After calculation, I display the values to the command window. It is displayed as follows:

finalResults =
1.0e+05 *
0.0001
     0
0.0005
0.0002
0.0001
0.0027
0.0033
0.0001
-0.0000
-0.0000
1.3750
0.0066

How do I make it display with the real values (i.e. with the 1.0e+05 multiplied in)?

Answer 1

format longG should do the trick. This uses either long or longE, whichever is shorter for each element. Same can be done with format shortG if you want shorter sequences.

The reason MATLAB displays numbers like in your question, is because this is the format short way of doing things. Look at format in the documentation to see all the options.

Example:

format shortG
A = [1;1e10;-1];
A =

            1
        1e+10
           -1
format longG
A =

                         1
               10000000000
                        -1
