AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a table using MATLAB's fprintf() function to display height and distance data for Earth and Mars. The user has defined a height vector and a distance matrix but is struggling to print them side by side in a formatted table. They are required to use fprintf() despite knowing there are simpler methods available. The provided code includes a function to calculate distances based on height and radius values, but the final print statement needs adjustment to properly format the output. A for loop is suggested to iterate through the matrix elements and format them with tabs for clarity.

I'm trying to create a table with three separate columns using fprintf(). The first column consists of a height vector h = 0:500:10000 and the second and third columns are part of the matrix Distance.
I've tried looking online and I can't seem to find a way to make the vector and the matrix to print side by side. There are easier ways to obtain this result but the homework problem is telling me to use fprintf(). Please help.

This is the code for the function:
Code:
%--------------------------------------------------------
function [ Distance ] = dist_func( h , r )
% dist_func This function calculates the distance to the horizon
%from various heights on different planets.
Distance = sqrt((2.*r.*h) + h.^2);
end
%--------------------------------------------------------
... and the program:
Code:
%--------------------------------------------------------
% Homework Problem 1 This program calculates the distance
%to the horizon from different heights on Earth and Mars.
%
% Define the height matrix values in feet.
h = 0:500:10000;
%
% Define the radius values for Earth and Mars in feet.
radius_earth = 3963;
radius_mars = 2108.5;
%
% Define radius matrix in feet
r = [radius_earth;radius_mars];
%
% Create grid containing all height and radius values in feet.
[hg,rg] = meshgrid(r,h);
% Calculate distance for both radii and convert to miles.
Distance = dist_func(hg,rg)*(1/5280);
% Place data into table format
disp('  Height   Distance on Earth    Distance on Mars')
fprintf('%8.2f\n',h); fprintf('%8.2f %8.2f\n',Distance')
The last line is an attempt at making the table.

Use a for loop to print the matrix elements. For each print statement, separate the matrix entries by tab, \t.
