How do I insert values into the title of my graph in MATLAB?

I have a value calculated:

a = 32.123

In the title of my graph I would like to use this number. I have tried this but it is not working:

title('Traffic Flow in A Day: ESTIMATED TOTAL CARS = %d',a);

If you want to use a variable you can use num2str() to convert it to str and then you can use strcat() to join it with another string. E.g.:

Title_line= strcat('Traffic Flow in A Day: ESTIMATED TOTAL CARS = ' , num2str(a));
title(Title_line);

or if you don't need the string again you can do it inside the title:

title(strcat('Traffic Flow in A Day: ESTIMATED TOTAL CARS = ',num2str(a)));

The advantage is, that you can use the same string numerous times. If you define it outside of the title.

Another option would be to use num2str, using the output of this and concatenating this together with a character vector. In other words:

title(['Traffic Flow in A Day: ESTIMATED TOTAL CARS = ' num2str(a)]);

This may look more readable rather than using sprintf, but certainly your call!

This should work:

title(sprintf('Traffic Flow in A Day: ESTIMATED TOTAL CARS = %d',a));
