Convert Fahrenheit to Celcius while the inpu Fahrenheit is an array

"Write a script file to compute and display a table to convert from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celcius over the temperature (T) range 0 to 100 F in increments of 10 degrees. The conversion relation is T C = 5(T F – 32)/9"

Basically, that the question. However, my main problem is on the fprintf part

As you guys can see, instead of

Fahrenheit1 F = Celcius1 C

Fahrenheit2 F = Celcius2 C

,

it give that output which is

Fahreheit1 F = Fahrenheit2 C

Celcius1 F = Celcius2 C

Anyone know what I should modified my code to make sure the program display the fahrenheit and celcius alternately instead of filling in all the fahrenheit values first in the %format?

clear
T = 0:10:100;
C = (5*(T-32)/9)

C = 1×11

-17.7778 -12.2222 -6.6667 -1.1111 4.4444 10.0000 15.5556 21.1111 26.6667 32.2222 37.7778

fprintf('%4.2f F = %4.2f C\n',[T;C])

0.00 F = -17.78 C
10.00 F = -12.22 C
20.00 F = -6.67 C
30.00 F = -1.11 C
40.00 F = 4.44 C
50.00 F = 10.00 C
60.00 F = 15.56 C
70.00 F = 21.11 C
80.00 F = 26.67 C
90.00 F = 32.22 C
100.00 F = 37.78 C

Oh I see, so whenever we want to have multiple set of arrays as a set of inputs, I need to put the matrice square bracket,

Thank you!

When you have more items in the variable list than % format specifiers in the format specifier string, like 11 instead of 2 in this case, it basically "reuses" the format specifier string for the remaining variable values. It evidently does this row-by-row for the [T, C] 2-D matrix.

Or you could put it into a for loop if you prefer, or think it's simpler.

clear
T = 0:10:100;
C = (5*(T-32)/9)

C = 1×11

-17.7778 -12.2222 -6.6667 -1.1111 4.4444 10.0000 15.5556 21.1111 26.6667 32.2222 37.7778

for k = 1 : numel(C)
    fprintf('%4.2f F = %4.2f C\n', T(k), C(k))
end

0.00 F = -17.78 C
10.00 F = -12.22 C
20.00 F = -6.67 C
30.00 F = -1.11 C
40.00 F = 4.44 C
50.00 F = 10.00 C
60.00 F = 15.56 C
70.00 F = 21.11 C
80.00 F = 26.67 C
90.00 F = 32.22 C
100.00 F = 37.78 C
