How can I make the value in the workspace show more than 4 digits?

Hi @Suleyman Aliyev ,

The format command in MATLAB allows you to control the display format of numerical values. To display more than four decimal places, you can use the format long command. This command changes the display format to show up to 15 digits for double-precision numbers.

Here’s how to use it:

x = 1/3; % Example calculation
disp(x); % This will display the value with more decimal places

If you want to avoid repeatedly entering format long in your scripts, you can set it in your MATLAB startup file. This way, every time you start MATLAB, it will automatically use the long format. To do this, follow these steps:

Locate your startup.m file. If it does not exist, you can create one in your MATLAB user directory.

Open the startup.m file and add the following line:

        format long

Save the file and restart MATLAB. Now, every time you open MATLAB, it will display numbers in long format by default.

If you want to display specific values with a custom number of decimal places without changing the global format, you can use the fprintf function. This function allows you to specify the number of decimal places for each output. Here’s an example:

   value = pi; % Example value
   fprintf('Value of pi to 10 decimal places: %.10f\n', value);
