Trying to print 2 different variables using fprintf.

I have 2 matrix, a=[1 2 3;4 5 6;n n n] and b=[11 22 33;44 55 66;nn nn nn] I am trying to print the 1st variable of a and b then the next etc:

fprintf('A is %6.4f and b is %6.4f', a, b);

the way math lab is working gives an output of:

A is 1 and b is 2

A is 3 and b is 11

A is 22 and b is 33

How can i separate it so it shows

A is 1 and b is 11

A is 2 and b is 22

A is 3 and b is 33

A is n and b is nn

fprintf('A is %6.4f and b is %6.4f', [a(:), b(:)].' );

Note: this will not print in the order you indicated because in MATLAB, the second variable of "a" is the 4, not the 2. If you want to print across the rows instead of down the columns, then

fprintf('A is %6.4f and b is %6.4f', permute(cat(3,a,b), [3 2 1]));

and the first version, taking the values in column order, can be done as

fprintf('A is %6.4f and b is %6.4f', permute(cat(3,a,b), [3 1 2]));
