how can i print 3 different vectors' while every vector contain different variable type?

hello,

I have a code that make 3 vector that 2 of them should contain integers and the other conatain str.

I am trying to connected them to a matrix that every column is one vector but with no succes

happy to get some help were i am wrong

function mat= ws(noe) %ws=waterstatus
y=cell(noe,3);
% y1=1:noe;
% y2=1:noe;
% y3=cell(noe,3);
for i = 1:noe
    %smaller loop
    for j =1:3
        if j==1
            x1=input('experiment date :  ','s');
            y{i,1}=x1;
        end
        if j==2
            x2=input('The amount of heavy metals absorbed :  ','s');
            y{i,2}=x2;
        end
        if j==3
            x3=input('The name of the locality where the sample was taken :  ','s');
            y{i,3}=x3;
        end
    end
end 
% y4=1:noe;
% y5=y3(y4);
% y6=char(y5');
% disp(y1') ,disp(y2'), disp(y6)
% % disp([y1,y2,char(y5')]);
% disp(y1')
% disp(y2')
% disp([y1', y2', y6])
% g=sprintf('%d %d %s', y1', y2', y6)
mat=cell2mat(y)
end

Vectors, matrices and other arrays (except for cell array) contain elements of the same class. This is the definition of an array: The class of the array is the class of its elements.

Only cell arrays are an exeption, which can contain elements of different classes and sizes.

In the title of the question, you ask for printing. In the body of the question and the code to try to create a matrix of mixed classes.

In the text you mention "make 3 vector that 2 of them should contain integers and the other conatain str". The code inserts 3 char vectors, so all have the same class in opposite to the description.

So what is the actual problem you want to solve? Printing or storing the data?

You code fails, when the CHAR vectors have not matching sizes.
