Hi David Cole,
The "fprintf" function does not inherently add spaces or newlines to your output unless specified. However, if it appears that there is an extra line space, it could be due to how the Live Editor formats the output.
You can get your output directly below the previous output without any additional line spaces by using following method:
- Concatenate Strings: You can print multiple pieces of text, concatenate them into a single string before using "fprintf".
fprintf(['Transmission Line losses Bus 1-2: 11.4214 MW and 45.6857 MVAR\n', ...
'Transmission Line losses Bus 1-3: 1.8218 MW and 7.2872 MVAR']);
- Use "disp" with "sprintf": You need to use "disp" with "sprintf" as it controls formatting better in the Live Editor.
disp(sprintf('Transmission Line losses Bus 1-2: 11.4214 MW and 45.6857 MVAR'));
disp(sprintf('Transmission Line losses Bus 1-3: 1.8218 MW and 7.2872 MVAR'));
- Verify Live Editor Settings: Kindly ensure there are no specific settings in the Live Editor affecting the output format.
