Thread Subject: output format

dear all,
i m first time doing matlab coding.
the output in my matrix is coming in the form of expressions, ratios
but i want simple values as output.
for example

ans is coming like
[142*7383/2424*pi 142*7383/2424*pi]
[142*7383/2424*pi 142*7383/2424*pi]

but i want ans like
[1.3587e+003 1.3587e+003]
[1.3587e+003 1.3587e+003]

guide me to get such managable answers.

thanks and regards.

Convert the symbolic object into doubles using the DOUBLE function (only
works if the symbolic expression does not contain any symbolic variables --
2*pi would work, but 2*t would not.) Alternately, if your object does
contain symbolic variables, use VPA.
