MATLAB: How to print the result of a function using fprintf? (matrix and string!)

fprintfmatrix

The variable countries is a 27×1 column vector with 3 letter abbreviations (ex. 'CAN'). Results is a 27×4 matrix with values ranging from 0-40 ish. Why can't I print them together or row by row?
I want the result to look like this:
Country Gold Silver Bronze
CAN 2 1 3
ITA 3 1 4
… etc.
My code:
Please skip to the bottom of this code for the part I'm having issues with.
function [] = Untitled6()
load('olympics.mat')
results = zeros(size(countries,1),4);
results = compute_medals(gold,silver,bronze,countries);
print_country_results(countries,results);
end
function results = compute_medals(gold,silver,bronze,countries);
% computes number of gold, silver, bronze medals and
% total medal tally for a given country and a given sport type
% results = zeros(size(countries,1),4);
for i = 1:length(countries)
    country = countries(i, :);
    goldCount = 0;
    silverCount = 0;
    bronzeCount = 0;
    for j = 1: length(gold)
        if country == gold(j, :)
            goldCount = goldCount+ 1;
        end
        if country == silver(j, :)
            silverCount = silverCount + 1;
        end
        if country == bronze(j, :)
            bronzeCount = bronzeCount + 1;
        end
    end
    results(i,1) = goldCount;
    results(i,2) = silverCount;
    results(i,3) = bronzeCount;
    results(i,4) = goldCount + silverCount + bronzeCount;
end
results
end
% HERE! Below is the part I'm having issues with! Please Help!
function [ ] = print_country_results(countries,results)
% prints formatted results
fprintf('Country Gold Silver Bronze Total\n')
for i = 1:length(countries) % = 27
        fprintf('%s %d \n', countries(i, :), results (i,:));
    end
end
Can I print a matrix & string row by row? Please help!
EDIT: We are not allowed to use a table. 🙁

Best Answer

You can change your function like this
function [ ] = print_country_results(countries,results)
% prints formatted results
    fprintf('Country\tGold\tSilver\tBronze\tTotal\n')
    for i = 1:length(countries) % = 27
        fprintf('%s\t%d\t%d\t%d\t%d\n', countries(i, :), results (i,:));
    end
end
Output:
Country	Gold	Silver	Bronze	Total
AUS	2	1	0	3
AUT	4	6	6	16
BLR	1	1	1	3
CAN	14	7	5	26
CHN	5	2	4	11
CRO	0	2	1	3
CZE	2	0	4	6
EST	0	1	0	1
FIN	0	1	4	5
FRA	2	3	6	11
GBR	1	0	0	1
GER	10	13	7	30
