display ten digits of på in matlab

To display n digits of Pi (π) in MATLAB, you can use the vpa function, which stands for Variable Precision Arithmetic. The vpa function can be used to evaluate mathematical expressions with a specified number of digits of precision.

Here's how to use vpa to display ten digits of Pi in MATLAB:

main.m
format long         % set the output format to a long, fixed-point format
pi_digits = vpa(pi, 10)  % evaluate pi with 10 digits of precision
disp(pi_digits)      % display the result
183 chars
4 lines

The format long command sets the output format to a long, fixed-point format (i.e., showing many decimal places), while the vpa function evaluates pi with 10 digits of precision (specified in the second argument). The disp function is used to display the resulting value of pi_digits.
