Displaying large Integers

Daniel — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:35:03 -0500

I read all the formating stuff on matlabs site but cant
figure out how to display large integers without them being
E to the X.

I need to display my data as

901276736291

And not as

1.0e+011 * 9.01276736291000

Thanks for any help in advance.

Use the %.0f format of fprintf.

x = 9876^3;
fprintf('%.0f\n',x)

Another alternative is using sprintf as
>>sprintf('%f', x)
But the thing is matlab cannot display more than 17 decimal digits. All other digits after 17th digit will be displayed as zero. You have to write your own code to dispaly large numbers if the number is more than a 17 digit number.
