disp
Display text or array
disp(X)
disp(X)
displays an array, without printing the array name. If X contains a text string, the string is displayed.
Another way to display an array on the screen is to type its name, but this prints a leading "X =," which is not always desirable.
One use of disp in an M-file is to display a matrix with column labels:
disp(' Corn Oats Hay')
disp(rand(5,3))
which results in
