Could I put this in a loop?

This is the following code I have

% PART C
% use find() and length() to determine how many months of each year exceed overall average
year2013 = find(lake_powell(:,1) > overall_average);
year2014 = find(lake_powell(:,2) > overall_average);
year2015 = find(lake_powell(:,3) > overall_average);
year2016 = find(lake_powell(:,4) > overall_average);
months2013 = length(year2013);
months2014 = length(year2014);
months2015 = length(year2015);
months2016 = length(year2016);
% print part C
fprintf('\nPART C: Determine how many months of each year > overall average')
fprintf('\n  During  2013 the lake was above average for %2.0f months', months2013)
fprintf('\n  During  2014 the lake was above average for %2.0f months', months2014)
fprintf('\n  During  2015 the lake was above average for %2.0f months', months2015)
fprintf('\n  During  2016 the lake was above average for %2.0f months\n', months2016)

This is the correct output, however is there a simpler way to do this and get the same output? My professor says I can only use the length and find functions to get the values.

PART C: Determine how many months of each year > overall average

During 2013 the lake was above average for 1 months

During 2014 the lake was above average for 7 months

During 2015 the lake was above average for 9 months

During 2016 the lake was above average for 12 months

You could add a for loop and use indexing instead of named variables, but otherwise "not really", not under those restrictions.

A simpler way of doing the counting would be

sum(lake_powell(:,1:4) > overall_average)

Thanks for the tip

Aren't you using a loop at your previous question https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/447347-fprintf-in-a-loop?

This is what I had in my code at first then I wanted to make it shorter and cleaner so I tried to make it into a loop. However I could not figure out how to match up the code where it will display the correct output with the restrictions I am given.

Use years(n) in your fprintf()
