MATLAB: How to add numeric values to table description

Question

I am trying to add some calculated values from a code and put it on the table description.

Let's say my table is MyTable

and the value is a=12

MyTable.Properties.Description='This table is the data from user number',a;

Basically, i want to keep the Description based on the variable a.

The output should be like this

Description: 'This table is the data from user number 12'
   UserData: []

How do it do it?

Answer 1

t.Properties.Description = "This table is the data from user number " + a;
% or

t.Properties.Description= sprintf('This table is the data from user number %f',a); % as mentioned by colleagues above
                                                                          % ^-- use d if you would like
% or
t.Properties.Description= compose("This table is the data from user number %d",a);
