Thread Subject: simple question about number of decimal places

Hi,

I am trying to create a matrix; here is my input and output.

[[0:4:28];[69:-1:62];[1.4:-.3:-.7]]
ans =
         0 4.0000 8.0000 12.0000 16.0000 20.0000
  24.0000 28.0000
   69.0000 68.0000 67.0000 66.0000 65.0000 64.0000
  63.0000 62.0000
    1.4000 1.1000 0.8000 0.5000 0.2000 -0.1000
  -0.4000 -0.7000

Is there a way to get the matrix without all the extraneous
zeros following the numbers?

Thanks!!

Did you try

format short g

HTH,

Hi John,

I also have same problem.

format g doesn't seem to work. I have some numbers like

A = 0.32075, and I only need the first two decimal. i.e. A =
0.32.

any ideas?
