I want to calculate the mean of a vector in more than 4 decimals. The code
A = [0,1,9];
mean(A)
ans = 3.3333

ans = 3.3333
But I want 3.333333

3.3333 is only the display of the variable 'ans'. The result of the calculation has better accuracy. Type

It is already that.
A = [0,1,9];
format short g
m = mean(A)
m =
3.3333
fprintf('Mean with 30 decimal places is %.30f.\n', m);
Mean with 30 decimal places is 3.333333333333333481363069950021.
format long g
m = mean(A)
m =
3.33333333333333
and
