How to display outputs in a certain decimal value

I have an output that I am trying to display. For example, when I do display(x) it shows it as 3.0+003, but i need it to display 3000. How would I do this? I know I have done this before, but I can't seem to find my old program where I did it. Thanks

fprintf('%d\n', x);

That is the command, thank you very much!

Now how would I make this then say, 3000 lb instead of just 3000? Sorry, I do not use Matlab often enough to remember these things.

Store your result to some output variable say 'output'

So when output = 3000

convert it to string format using command num2str

output = num2str(output);

now concatenate your output value with string ' lb' i.e

output = strcat(output, ' lb');

so the final value of variable will be '3000 lb'

Hope this will work for you..

[Image Analyst]

x=3000;
fprintf('%d lb\n', x);

or, to get a string variable

str = sprintf('%d lb', x);
