How do i make this script produce a tidy output screen? I have come up with the script but cannot tidy it up.

2 views (last 30 days)
Output screen:
Please enter a positive number : 1
Please enter a positive number : 2
Please enter a positive number : 4
Please enter a positive number : 5
1: x = 1.000 , product = 1.000
2: x = 2.000 , product = 2.000
3. x = 4.000 , product = 8.000
etc
My script:
clear
clc
x=input('Enter a positive number : \n');
product = x*1;
while product <=500
x = input('Enter a positive integer : ');
product = product*x;
fprintf('x = %4.3f , product = %4.3f\n' ,x, product);
end
fprintf('x = %4.3f, product = %4.3f:', x, product);

I don't understand what you are aiming for. Are you trying to format it better or what?
I get an output something like this.
Enter a positive number :
2
Enter a positive integer : 3
x = 3.000 , product = 6.000
Enter a positive integer : 6
x = 6.000 , product = 36.000
Enter a positive integer : 12
x = 12.000 , product = 432.000
Enter a positive integer : 2
x = 2.000 , product = 864.000
x = 2.000, product = 864.000
Obviously if you remove some fprintf statements the output screen will be tidier, but I assume you want to output everything that you currently do.
