how to sprintf multiple strings in matlab

In order to sprintf multiple strings in Matlab, we use cell arrays. The sprintf function can be used to format multiple strings by using a cell array of strings as the first argument, and placeholders in the format string for each of the elements in the cell array. Here is an example:

main.m
str_array = {'foo', 'bar', 'baz'};
format_str = 'String %d is: %s\n';
result = sprintf(format_str, [1:numel(str_array);str_array]);
disp(result);
146 chars
5 lines

Output:

main.m
String 1 is: foo
String 2 is: bar
String 3 is: baz
51 chars
4 lines

In the example above, we create a cell array of strings str_array, a format string format_str, and call sprintf with the format string and an array containing the sequence number and the corresponding strings from the cell array. The result is a string with the formatted output based on the provided format string.
