fprintf repeat

Hey I'm trying to do something... and I don't know if it's possible :s

I'm currently drawing on subfunctions and showing the result via fprintf, however I want to simplify it if I can.

If my code has the following;

fprintf('My results are %.5f and %.5f' f(x), (f(x)/2))

Is there anyway to avoid having to state "f(x)" twice? I know I could define it earlier by something like "a = f(x)" and then have the fprintf have "a, a/2" but I want to keep as much of the code as I can in the fprintf.

Is there any way I can do this? I would assume not, but MATLAB has supprised me before!

I appretiate the help and if any more details are needed just ask :)

fprintf('My results are %.5f and %.5f', f(x)./[1, 2])

Hey, it's not a better solution but it meets your requirements.

Thank you very much, that is much better :D My subfunction has around 6 variables and so this helps simplify it! I assume it's broken down as;

f(x) states the function, or whatever

Then ./ divides

[1, 2] first divides by 1 then by 2 and gives the two new values in a row vector which then get fed into the fprintf

?

Sorry for the potentially niave questions, started learning how to use MATLAB last year and I've found it's good to learn what does what and how/why :D

yup that's basically it!
