how to print the data that we collect using structure and loop

function details = my_details()

x=input('Enter number to details needed to be entered : ');

for m=1:x

name=input('name ','s');

age=input('age ');

contact_number=input('contact number ');

details=struct('name',name,'age',age,'contact',contact_number);

end

end

Hello Prateek,

A simple way to print out the struct. Just get rid of the ';' at the end of the line.

function details =  my_details()
x=input('Enter number to details needed to be entered : '); 
for m=1:x
    name=input('name ','s');
    age=input('age ');
    contact_number=input('contact number ');
    % remove ';' at the end, command line window will print this
    details=struct('name',name,'age',age,'contact',contact_number)
   
end
end

Thanks,

Yongjian

now its giving data as i am entering but i want to show data once i enter all

Then you need to store the data first into an array of structs.

Once you get all the inputs, iterate the array of structs, and do the same thing here (a line without ';').

I think in the above code, details is storing the last struct. To store all the structs, we can make details as an array of structs and finally print that. The following is the modified code for the above which stores the structs in an array and finally prints them:

CODE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function details = my_details()

details = [];

x=input('Enter number to details needed to be entered : ');

for m=1:x

name=input('name ','s');

age=input('age ');

contact_number=input('contact number ');

details= [details struct('name',name,'age',age,'contact',contact_number)];

end

for i = 1:length(details) % print the details

disp(['The details of entry number ' int2str(i)]);

disp(['name :' details(i).name]);

disp(['age :' int2str(details(i).age)]);

disp(['contact :' int2str(details(i).contact)]);

end

end

Hope this helps!
