How would I modify the output for the answers in the program I've written?

I've created a simple program to convert inches to centimeters and pounds to kilograms and I would like to reduce the number of digits after the zero. Problem is I'm not sure how for this problem?

inches = input('Please enter the height in inches: ');

pounds = input('Please enter the weight in pounds: ');

if inches <= 0

    display('Height must be greater than zero!');break;

elseif pounds <= 0

    display('Weight must be greater than zero!');break;

end

[Centimeters,Kilograms] = convert_height(inches, pounds)

I get the answers in order (within brackets) but I'm also getting way too many digits than I need.

Either limit the number of shown digits by

format short g

(see: help format), or display your data explicitly:

[Centimeters,Kilograms] = convert_height(inches, pounds);
fprintf('%.3f  %.3f', Centimeters, Kilograms);
