An easy way to plot aligned text in the command window is to use tabs.
I recommend using fprintf for the header too.
I changed the first and 20th line:
fprintf('it. \t xl \t xu \t xr \t ea%%\n');
xu=10;
xl=0;
xrpv=0;er=0;
f=@(x)(5*exp(0.5*x)+10-x^3.5);
for i=1:1:200
xr=(xl+xu)/2;
fxr=f(xr);
er=((xr-xrpv)/xr)*100;
xrpv=xr;
if abs(er)<10^-6
disp(abs(er));
break
end
if (f(xl)*f(xr)>0)
xl=xr;
else
xu=xr;
end
fprintf('%3d \t%.1f \t%.1f \t%.1f \t%.1f\n',i,xl,xu,xr,er)
end
And the result is this:
it. xl xu xr ea%
1 0.0 5.0 5.0 100.0
2 2.5 5.0 2.5 -100.0
3 2.5 3.8 3.8 33.3
4 2.5 3.1 3.1 -20.0
5 2.5 2.8 2.8 -11.1
...
A similar result could be obtained by saving i,xl,xu,xr,er
on each line of a matrix that could be displayed as a table.
You could also use a table variable as a storage variable that could be displayed as you asked but this depends on how you are using the data in the following code.
