How to store more than 4 decimal places in an array in MATLAB

Question

I want to store 6 decimal digits into an array, but when I store it into array it only stores up to 4 decimal digits instead of 6. How can I store up to 6 digits into an array?

For example, if

 e=0.059995;
 W(l,i)=e;

but W(l,i) gives me the result as 4 decimal places

 disp(W(l,i))
  0.0600

How can I store 6 decimal digits into an array, i.e when I print the array it prints 6 decimal places?

   disp(W(l,i))
   0.059995

Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Matlab on default settings stores up to 15 digits. It only your display format. Have a look at the format command.

Or just type at the Matlab command prompt:

format long

Answer 2

If you know you have only 6 digits you can use

 sprintf('%0.6f', W(l,i))

instead of disp
