need to print a matrix with a string

I have a structure composed of 3 students that have a letter for a last name, 3 quiz grades in a matrix, and a few more things. Im supposed to write a for loop to print just the last name and the quiz grades but that means printing a string and a matrix. This is what I tried.

for i=1:3
    fprintf('%s  %d\n',student(i).lastname,student(i).quiz)

my question is basically how do I print a string with a matrix?

I have a structure

show what it looks like

This is MATLAB, so loops are totally superfluous:

>> S(1).name = 'anna';
>> S(1).quiz = 3;
>> S(2).name = 'bob';
>> S(2).quiz = 4;
>> S(3).name = 'cathy';
>> S(3).quiz = 2;
>> C = [{S.name};{S.quiz}];
>> fprintf('%10s %d\n',C{:})
     anna  3
      bob  4
    cathy  2

or like this maybe?:

student(1).lastname='alex ';
student(1).quiz='3';
student(2).lastname='bob ';
student(2).quiz='4';
student(3).lastname='Alonso ';
student(3).quiz='2';

for i=1:3

   string([student(i).lastname,student(i).quiz])

   end

COMMAND WINDOW DISPLAYS:

>> 

ans = 

      "alex 3"

ans = 

      "bob 4"

ans = 

      "Alonso 2"

@madhan ravi: why are you storing numeric data as characters?

was convenient while calling thats why? any better enhancement is welcomed @stephen

Assuming there are three grades in the quiz field, maybe this will work for you

fprintf('%s  %d  %d  %d\n',student(i).lastname,student(i).quiz)

If not, then give us a short example of your structure and what you would like for output.
