How do I remove the Ans from the result

I'm using If in my code, but every time the condition is passed on, an ans appears in the result.

if Alpha(1,1) == 1
  disp('Ok')
 else Alpha(1,1) == 0
  disp("Not okay")
endif
if Alpha(1,2) == 1
  disp("ok")
 else Alpha(1,2) == 0
  disp("Not Okay")
endif

How do I remove the Ans from the result

By correctly coding the if-clause:

Alpha = [1,0];
if Alpha(1,1) == 1
  disp('Ok')
elseif Alpha(1,1) == 0
  disp("Not okay")
end

Ok

if Alpha(1,2) == 1
  disp("ok")
elseif Alpha(1,2) == 0
  disp("Not Okay")
end

Not Okay

You'd need to use either display or fprintf not to have ans, e.g.:

%% fprintf
if Alpha(1,1) == 1
  fprintf('Ok \n')
 else Alpha(1,1) == 0
  fprintf('Not okay \n')
end
%%  display
if Alpha(1,2) == 1
  display("ok")
 else Alpha(1,2) == 0
  display("Not Okay")
end

That's incorrect. Neither disp, display, nor fprintf show "ans".

disp('ok')

ok

display('ok')

ok

fprintf('ok\n')

ok

The "ans" comes from, e.g.,

else Alpha(1,1) == 0

which is the same as

else
    Alpha(1,1) == 0

which prints the result of Alpha(1,1) == 0 to the command line, with "ans".

Questions about a different programming language should be addressed to the appropriate support resources for that programming language. We cannot be expected to know or explain the behaviour of a project whose purpose for existence is to put Mathworks out of business. (Yes, seriously, that is the design goal for Octave. Read about the Free Software Foundation, which is a political movement not a technical movement.)

What makes you think this is an Octave question? Was something there and since edited away?

[Voss]

I think it's the "endif" that gives it away as Octave code.

MATLAB has never ever had "endif"
