Issue formatting MATLAB results output

I am pretty unfamiliar with MATLAB so I had someone originally help me with the code. Problem is for some reason I have the output of the function structured like below and I am getting something more akin to a status output then the actual values which would be more like the specific quantities at each given interval.

If I need to include more of the code in my description just let me know.

Output code format:

    %%5) Solve optimization problem

    [x,fval,exitflag,output] = intlinprog(problem);

    outputString = output.message;

    end

    % Plot results

    %bar(p1:p2,x,0.5);

    %fprintf('\n\nAverage set:\t%4.2f\n',avg);

    %fprintf('Average opt:\t%4.2f\n',(p1:p2)*x/N);

Resulting output:

    Intlinprog stopped at the root node because the objective value is within a gap tolerance of the optimal value; options.TolGapAbs = 0 (the default value). The intcon variables are integer within tolerance, options.TolInteg

    ans =

Doesn't make sense, to me at least. What does Output code format mean? It looks like code. Code that has the functions that create output, like bar() and fprintf(), commented out.

Your "Resulting output" looks more like a warning or error message than any output that your code would intentionally generate. Is it in red or orange color text, and include a traceback (line numbers and function names where the error originated)?

Have you ever seen this link. It should solve all your issues.

I think that you misunderstand the result. The x variable is in your workspace after intlinprog finishes. It contains the result you seek. If you want to see a plot of the result, and see some information, uncomment the plotting lines:

bar(p1:p2,x,0.5);
fprintf('\n\nAverage set:\t%4.2f\n',avg);
fprintf('Average opt:\t%4.2f\n',(p1:p2)*x/N);

Thanks for the help, I was able to get it sorted out. I just didn't have the print results defined properly.
