Is there any way to print values to more decimal places using fprintf?

fprintf('The value claculated for Vo is %f \n',est)

As the FPRINTF documentation explains, you can specify the number of decimal digits:

est = pi;
fprintf('The value claculated for Vo is %f \n',est)

The value claculated for Vo is 3.141593 

fprintf('The value claculated for Vo is %.10f \n',est)

The value claculated for Vo is 3.1415926536

what if you wanted a specific number of digits before the decimal

"what if you wanted a specific number of digits before the decimal"

Then you can specify the fieldwidth, e.g. to print a total of 16 characters with leading zeros:

est = pi;
fprintf('The value claculated for Vo is %016.10f \n',est)

The value claculated for Vo is 00003.1415926536
