Double output using disp()

The following code gives two outputs when I have only one disp() command at the end:

characteristic = [1.000   2.2500  2.5002];
b = HurwitzMatrix(characteristic);

function [characteristic] = HurwitzMatrix(characteristic)
number = length(characteristic)-1;
D = zeros(number,number);
X = [zeros(1, number-2),characteristic zeros(1, number-1)];
for r = 1:number
    E(r,:) = X(3+number-2-r:2:3+number-2-r+2*(number-1));
    disp('Hurwitz Matrix')
    disp(E)
end
end

The output is as follows:

Hurwitz Matrix
    2.2500         0

Hurwitz Matrix
    2.2500         0
    1.0000    2.5002
    

Any suggestions to ensure only the bottom matrix (2x2) is displayed with the title would be helpful! Thank you.

Try moving the "disp" statement out side of the for loop. So the last four lines of your code look like this.

end
disp('Hurwitz Matrix')
disp(E)
end
