how to use sprintf for multiple stirngs in matlab

To use sprintf to format multiple strings in MATLAB, you can create a cell array of strings and pass it to sprintf as an input argument. Then use the %s format specifier to indicate where the strings should be inserted in the output string.

Here is an example:

main.m
names = {'Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'};
scores = [80, 85, 90];
output = sprintf('The scores of %s, %s, and %s are %d, %d, and %d.', names{:}, scores);
disp(output);
162 chars
5 lines

Output:

main.m
The scores of Alice, Bob, and Charlie are 80, 85, and 90.
58 chars
2 lines

In this example, the names are stored in a cell array and the scores are stored in a numeric array. The {:} operator is used to convert the cell array to a comma-separated list of strings that can be passed to sprintf. The %s format specifier is used to insert the names into the output string and the %d format specifier is used to insert the scores.
