MATLAB: Have an array of 16 values, want to output them in order value by value, with the same string of text before each value

Question

say amount = [a, b, c, d, e, f,] where a,b,c etc are numbers in an array.

Want to then output a list like this as an output with the same text string beforehand repeating but with the different values in this instance as there are 6 values to output:

For example i want the output to be:

The amount is: a

The amount is: b

The amount is: c

etc….

Want it to keep outputting until all values of amount are displayed like this

Answer 1

The simple and efficient MATLAB approach is to use fprintf:

amount = [0,2,3,5,13,7];
fprintf('The amount is %d\n',amount);
The amount is 0
The amount is 2
The amount is 3
The amount is 5
The amount is 13
The amount is 7
