How do I make my script accept matrix as input with proper fprintf output?

This is my script

degree = input('Insert scalar or matrix in degrees to be converted to radian: ');

radian = deg2rad(degree);

fprintf('Degree       Radian\n')
fprintf('%3d %15.3f \n',degree.',radian.')

I'm trying to make it accept matrix as an input, and then make it display the outputs in a table like this :

Degree      Radian
0           0.000
15          0.262

But everytime I input in a matrix, the results come out like this instead :

[90 80 70;60 50 40;30 20 10]

Degree       Radian
 90          80.000 
 70          60.000 
 50          40.000 
1.570796e+00           1.396 
1.221730e+00           1.047 
8.726646e-01           0.698

Any suggestions on how to make it work?

degree=[90 80 70;60 50 40;30 20 10];
radian = deg2rad(degree);
output=[degree(:).';radian(:).'];
fprintf('Degree       Radian\n')
fprintf('%3d %15.3f \n',output)

It works! Mind explaining what the transposing and colon does?

[Rik]

The colon converts a matrix to a column vector, the transpose transposes it (so that changes it to a row vector). The point is that the order in which you feed the values to fprintf must match what you actually mean.

fprintf('%3d %15.3f \n', [degree(:), radian(:)].');  %the transpose is important here
