table is not working correctly

C1=input('Enter starting temperature im Celsius...')
dC=input('Enter temperature increment in Celsius...')
C=[C1:dC:((C1+dC)*25)]
R=C_to_R(C)
C_to_R_table=[C',R']
disp('Celsius to Rankine conversion table')
disp('Celsius   Rankine')
fprintf(' %6.3f %9.3f \n',C_to_R_table)

    function [ R ] = C_to_R( C )
%Temperature in Celsius to Rankine
R = 9/5*C+491.67;

C_to_R_table =

         0  491.6700
   10.0000  509.6700
   20.0000  527.6700
   30.0000  545.6700
   40.0000  563.6700
   50.0000  581.6700
   60.0000  599.6700
   70.0000  617.6700
   80.0000  635.6700
   90.0000  653.6700
  100.0000  671.6700
  110.0000  689.6700
  120.0000  707.6700
  130.0000  725.6700
  140.0000  743.6700
  150.0000  761.6700
  160.0000  779.6700
  170.0000  797.6700
  180.0000  815.6700
  190.0000  833.6700
  200.0000  851.6700
  210.0000  869.6700
  220.0000  887.6700
  230.0000  905.6700
  240.0000  923.6700
  250.0000  941.6700

So i made a function file to convert temp in celsius to rankine and the initial table works fine however when i do fprintf the values for both columns differ from the correct ones

I don’t see the problem.

A 10°C increment should be equivalent to an 18°R (or 18°F) increment, and that looks to me to be displaying the correct result.

fprintf(' %6.3f %9.3f \n', C_to_R_table.' );    %the transpose is important

fprintf() proceeds down the columns of whatever data is passed to it, which is consistent with MATLAB array indexing but is confusing when you are working with column output.
