need help on a simple question.

I've only entered as for the input. however, in the output, it shows "The char is s" and "The char is as". Can I know how do i get rid of the "The char is s" statement? Thank you.

Script:

%Prompt the user to enter a character followed by number

char = input ('Enter the character:','s');

num = input('Enter the number:');

%Print all variables in sentence format

fprintf ('The char is %4s\n','s',char)

fprintf ('The num is %5.2f\n', num)

command window:

>> prac2

Enter the character:as

Enter the number:23

The char is s

The char is as

The num is 23.00

CHAR is an important Matlab command, so do not shadow it by using it as a name of a variable.

Hi,

please replace

fprintf ('The char is %4s\n','s',char)

with

fprintf ('The char is %s\n',char);
