How do I set the exponential size in fprintf?

66 次查看(过去 30 天)
I'm trying to get the fprintf command to output specifically with the e6 scientific notation size. Is this possible?
The function is:
function [ dv_km3 dv_m3 ] = r2dv( r )
%r2dv % this script converts radius values for a sphere (m)
% to volume (km3 and m3)
format long
dv_m3 = (4/3)*pi*r^3
% fprintf('dv_m3 = %d.e\n',dv_m3)
dv_km3 = dv_m3/(10^9)
% fprintf('dv_km3 = %d\n',dv_km3)
end
I would like the dv_m3 to output always as x10^6 (10e6)

One possibility:
x = rand(1,10) * 1E8;
xe6 = sprintf('%.3fE+6\n', x./1E6);
Experiment to get the result you want.

Perfect, thanks for the mega-fast reply!
For anyone else using this, my code incorporating his answer is:
function [ dv_km3 dv_m3 ] = r2dv( r )
%r2dv % this script converts radius values for a sphere (m)
% to volume (km3 and m3)
dv_m3 = (4/3)*pi*r^3;
fprintf('dv_m3 = %.3fe+6\n',dv_m3./1E6)
dv_km3 = dv_m3/(10^9);
fprintf('dv_km3 = %.3f\n',dv_km3)
end
