    • 13.1: sprintf() and fprintf() Part 1
      fprintf() and sprintf() allow more detailed control of print formatting.
    • 13.2: fprintf() to a file
      MATLAB provides scripting and automation tools that can simplify repetitive computational tasks. For example, a series of commands executed in a MATLAB session to solve a problem can be saved in a script file called an m-file. An m-file can be executed from the command line by typing the name of the file or by pressing the run button in the built-in text editor tool bar.

    We covered the input(), disp(), and num2str() functions in chapter 7.

    This chapter will cover functions that give the user additional options for input and output ("I/O").
