How to print status

Hi, I am writing a program that I need the output be print "Success" or "Failure" on a table of 4 columns, my program is that:

function m = margin_of_safety(F,sigma);
  m = F - sigma;
  table = [F;sigma;m];
  fprintf('   F      sigma        m     \n');
  fprintf('%4d %10.2f %10.2f  \n',table);
end

And I need the test be this way,but I want replace the checks for text as I had explained

I thank you.

I recommend not using table as a variable name as table is the name of a data type in MATLAB.

Let's use your sample data.

>> sampleData = [72 60 12; 72 80 -8; 82 60 22; 82 80 2];

Build a table array using your sample data.

>> T = array2table(sampleData, 'VariableNames', ["F", "sigma", "m"]);

Turn the m variable from your table T into a categorical array with value "failure" when T.m is not greater than 0 and "success" when T.m is greater than 0.

>> SF = categorical(T.m > 0, [false, true], ["failure", "success"]);

Now add this variable to the table. I'm using a table variable name that is not a valid MATLAB identifier, which is allowed in a table since release R2019b. Use a different name if you're using an earlier release.

>> T.("Success/Failure") = SF

T =

  4×4 table

    F     sigma    m     Success/Failure
    __    _____    __    _______________

    72     60      12        success    
    72     80      -8        failure    
    82     60      22        success    
    82     80       2        success    

Let's get some data from T.

T(T.("Success/Failure") == "failure", :)

+1 for that SF line , been looking for it for days!!

[madhan ravi]

function m = margin_of_safety(F,sigma);
  m = F - sigma;
  s = ["success", "failure", "success", "success"];
  TablE = [F;sigma;m;s];
  fprintf('   F      sigma        m     %s\n');
  fprintf('%4d %10.2f %10.2f  \n',TablE);
end

I thank for you support madhan, but I also would like to create a statement to generate the column, for example, if m<=0 print Failure, and m>0 print success.

[madhan ravi]

list = ["success", "failure"];
s = list((m<=0) + 1);
