How to round a result to two decimal places, Part 2

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/308927-how-to-round-a-result-to-two-decimal-places

shows how to round the result to two decimal places.

Here what I would want Matlab to do is to round the display to two demical places.

(1) I have

Fit = polyfit(series_1,series_2, 1);
theString = sprintf('(dependent variable) = %.3f*(independent variable) %.3f', Fit(1), Fit(2));

How can one let Matlab display only up to two demical places?

(2) I have

corr=corrcoef(series_1,series_2);
num2str(corr(1,2),3)

How can one let Matlab display only up to two demical places?

(3) I have

tbl=anova(mdl);
tbl2=table2cell(tbl('x1',4)) % Get F-statistics
tbl3=string(tbl2);

How can one let Matlab display only up to two demical places?

"Display" where? At the command line?

If so, try

format bank

and see if that pleases.

I meant in the output.

What is "the output"? You have used sprintf('%.3f') to create 3 decimal places, so thge reader can assume, that you can simply use the '%.2f' command. See: doc sprintf

In the documentation of num2str you find, that you cn use the same format specifier as in sprintf. See Walter's answer.

series_1 = 1:10;
series_2 = cos(rand(1,10));

Fit = polyfit(series_1,series_2, 1);
theString = sprintf('(dependent variable) = %.2f*(independent variable) %.2f', Fit(1), Fit(2));
%                                             ^                           ^
disp(theString)

(dependent variable) = 0.02*(independent variable) 0.70

corr=corrcoef(series_1,series_2);
num2str(corr(1,2),2)

ans = '0.6'

%                ^
tbl2 = {rand}

tbl2 = 1x1 cell array
    {[0.3002]}

string(tbl2)

ans = "0.30025"

compose("%.2f", tbl2{:})

ans = "0.30"

sprintf('%.2f', tbl2{:})

ans = '0.30'
