how to make matlab display final complete results directly

Here's an example

>> R(1)

ans =

-log(- 1004229921906619062839952526185507/1913851274991446601508198548841385*i - 143584884070040384103267078403784/1913851274991446601508198548841385)

i want to know the value of R(1) R is a 3x1 matrix, and R(1) will display the result in R(1,1) but the results is in a long form,

i need to highlight the results, right click, and click "evaluate selection"

>> -log(- 1004229921906619062839952526185507/1913851274991446601508198548841385*i - 143584884070040384103267078403784/1913851274991446601508198548841385)

ans =

     0.6348 + 1.7128i

why is this happening, how can i make it display the final answer 0.6348 + 1.7128i straight away?

Are you looking for the DISP command?

The number 1004229921906619062839952526185507 has more digits than can be represented as DOUBLE.

oh i see,

thanks for the info.

i manage to solve it by adding this

double(R(1))

it force it to become double.
