Removing the space between %2d in a string statement.

a=3;

b=4;

c=5;

[check,report]=ispythag(a,b,c);

function [check,report]=ispythag(a,b,c)

if (a^2)+(b^2)==(c^2)

check=true;

else

check=false;

end

formatspec_check='check:%2d\n';

formatspec_true='report:(%2d,%2d,%2d) form a Pythagorean triple.\n';

formatspec_false_1='report:c must be %2d to form a Pythagorean triple with a and b.\n';

formatspec_false_2='report:There is no value of c that can form a Pythagorean triple with a and b.\n';

integer=sqrt((a^2)+(b^2));

s=sqrt((a^2)+(b^2));

if check==true

report=sprintf(formatspec_true,a,b,c);

else

if s==floor(s)

report=sprintf(formatspec_false_1,integer);

else

report=sprintf(formatspec_false_2);

end

end

fprintf(formatspec_check,check);

fprintf(report);

end

%Shown in the code above, the "formatspec_true='report:(%2d,%2d,%2d) form a Pythagorean triple.\n';" line of the code assigns the statement to the variable formatspec_true.

However when I print this variable using the variable 'report' there are spaces between the numbers.

So example if the output of the function will be

"report: ( 3, 4, 5) form a Pythagorean triple."

How do I turn this into

"report: (3,4,5) form a Pythagorean triple."

where there are no space in between the numbers.

Replace

%2d

with

%d
