display the following message in one line on the screen 'room area: ___ square feet. you need to buy ___ tiles each measuring width x length inches.' in matlab

You can display the message in one line using string formatting in MATLAB. Here's an example code:

main.m
roomArea = 150; % room area in square feet
tileWidth = 12; % tile width in inches
tileLength = 12; % tile length in inches

message = sprintf('room area: %d square feet. you need to buy ___ tiles each measuring %d x %d inches.', roomArea, tileWidth, tileLength);
disp(message);
278 chars
7 lines

In the code above, sprintf is used to format the string by replacing the placeholders (%d) with the provided values (roomArea, tileWidth, tileLength). The resulting formatted string is then displayed using disp function.

Make sure to replace the roomArea, tileWidth, and tileLength with the appropriate values for your specific case.

The displayed message will have the values for roomArea and the tile dimensions, while leaving space for the number of tiles to be filled in.

Note that you need to manually input the number of tiles in the formatted message since it was not provided in the original question.
