printf:
Syntax: printf ( format_string , VARi ... )
Description:
The RLaB printf() is a limited feature version of the
C-language printf(). The features are limited because RLaB
does not support all of the data type the C-language does.
format_string: must be a valid printf format string
VARi: are any number of constants or variables that match the
format string. printf() cannot print out vector, matrix, or
list objects as a whole. Valid print objects are strings,
constants, and scalars.
The following shows how one might print out the annotated
contents of a matrix.
for(i in 0:size(a)[0]-1) {
for(j in 0:size(a)[1]-1) {
printf("a[%i;%i] = %f\n", i, j, a[i;j]);
}
}
It would be more efficient to use:
write("stdout", a);
since write() knows how to deal with entire data objects.
