I am having a problem with the way numbers are being displayed in a matrix from a while loop. I am trying to calculate basic interest increases in a bank account for a number of years and at the 4th year the values change to some sort of scientific notation. I have tried set the format to compact as this is what I understand to be the default format for matlab to be. I have attached my code and here is a snip of my output. What can I do to fix this?
2 1210
3 1331
1.0e+03 *
0.0040 1.4641
1.0e+03 *
0.0050 1.6105
a=1000;
r=0.1;
bal=a;
year=0;
disp('Year Balance')
while bal<a*2
bal=bal+r*bal;
year=year +1;
disp([year bal])
end

format compact only affects the line spacing of the display. It doesn't affect how numbers are displayed.
I tend to use format longg or format shortg. Both should get rid of the scientific notation.
See documentation of format

Since you are having trouble displaying year as integers, you can try this
a=1000;
r=0.1;
bal=a;
year=0;
disp('Year Balance')
while bal<a*2
bal=bal+r*bal;
year=year +1;
disp([int32(year) bal])
end

Hi
Try using
format long g
This will suppress scientific notation.
