The fprintf() function is equivalent to the printf() function, except that the output is written to the file descriptor fid instead of stdout.
 

Syntax : fprintf(fid, template, variables) 
Parameters : 
 

  • fid : file descriptor
  • template : string to be written on the console, it also contains format specifiers like %d, %s etc
  • variables : values that will replace the format specifiers

Types of Format Specifiers : 
 

  • %d : used for integers
  • %f : used for floating point values
  • %s : used for strings

Example : 
 

MATLAB




% using fprintf() without format specifiers
fprintf("Hello World!!\n");
 
x = 5;
 
% using fprintf() with format specifiers
printf("Welcome, value of x is %d\n", x);

It is also used for various Machine Learning algorithms for solving various numeric problems. You can say that it is similar to MATLAB but slower than MATLAB.
