MATLAB: How to show a changing variable value in command window

Question

I am doing kind of Genetic Algorithm problem. It takes dozens of iterations before coming to a satisfactory solution. I want to show how the number of iteration grows IN ONE ROW in the command window.

I only know how to do it in rows one after another, here's the code:

    if %Stopping Criterion%
            break;
        else
            iteration = iteration +1 ;
            fprintf('Iteration = %d \n',iteration);
        end

As you know , in the command window, this will be:

Iteration = 2

Iteration = 3

Iteration = 4

Iteration = 5

Iteration = 6

Iteration = 7

.

.

.

My concern is, I want to display the result ONLY IN ONE ROW, that is, "Iteration =" does not show again, ONLY the growing value of the iteration changes.

How could I make it?

Thanks in advance:)

Before you start the loop,

fprintf('Iteration =');

In the loop,

fprintf(' %d', iteration);

after the loop:

fprintf('\n');
