how to avoid the decimal values in fprintf

i want to display "1. particle index is 2"

"2. particle index is 2"

I tried with the followig command

fprintf('%3d. particle index is %5.4f\n',iteration,index)

But is displays "1. particle index is 2.0000"

"2. particle index is 2.0000"

Could anyone help me how to make it to 2 instead of 2.0000

Use %d instead of %5.4f

thanks.

could you please help me to combine the following two fprintf into single command.

code:

particle=index;
fprintf('%3d. global fitness is %5.4f\n',iteration,global_fitness)
fprintf('%3d. global fitness is %d\n',iteration,index) 

With respect to the code the two fprintf corresponds to the same iteration .So i want to dispaly the global fitness and index of particle in the same line in command window.

Could you please help me on this.

It's always a good idea to look through the documentation https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/fprintf.html if something is unclear. Spend some time that's all it takes.

fprintf('%3d. global fitness is %5.4f and index is %d\n',iteration,global_fitness,index)
