Array using for loop: using sprintf

Make the following two vectors, each with the same number of elements (77). v1: a 1D-array with random numbers (floats) between 0 and 8515.0 . v2: the nearest integer value corresponding to every element of v1. now use the sprintf() command to print a table with 77 rows and 3 columns. The first column contains v2 (displayed as integers, so 41 instead of 41.000). The second column contains v1, displayed as floats with 2 decimals. The third column contains v1 displayed in scientific notation, with 3 decimals. I know we have to make use of for loop in this, but how?

Thanks in advance

@Ullas Rajvanshi: what have you tried so far?

If we do you work for you, how do you expect to learn anything from that course?

You could use a loop like this:

1. define the two vectors, say X and Y.
2. loop over them, using for k = 1:numel(X).
3. use indexing each loop to access the vector elements
4. call sprintf with those values.

But actually you don't need to use a loop at all. Have a look at this:

>> M = 9*rand(1,5);
>> fprintf('%4.0f,%7.2f,%12.3e\n',[M;M;M])
   7,   6.82,   6.820e+00
   7,   6.69,   6.688e+00
   4,   3.53,   3.530e+00
   6,   5.90,   5.899e+00
   2,   1.54,   1.541e+00

@Ullas Rajvanshi: I will do your homework for you when these three conditions have been met:

1. you give me the email address of your tutor, so that I can ask that it is okay when I do your homework for you.
2. you ensure that the course certificate is made out in my name.
3. you make a donation to a charity of my choice.

Seriously: if you intend to learn anything then you need to give it a try yourself: read documentation, try examples, make mistakes, and then you will make it worth doing that course.

Thanks for the motivation. I would like to apologise for that. I am able to solve it now. Thanks for your help! :)
