Making two data appear side-to-side

I have two variable: array and Sw_C that i need to present side-to-side as in the picture attached and I'm using fprintf to do so

but it seems like something is wrong in the fprintf that I'm using at LINE 19. Hope my question make sense and clear to you and please help me to check and correct it. Thank you. The excel data is attached here as well.

*note that in the Rt data in the picture is defined as variable "array" in the script to avoid any confusion

syms Sw
format short
p=0.153;
Qv=0.980;
Rw=0.265;
m=1.86;
B=3.2;
n=2.2;
array=xlsread('watersat','Sheet1','A2:A45');
Sw_Lab=xlsread('watersat','Sheet1','B2:B45');
for i=1:length(array)
    Rt=array(i);
    eq=Sw==(Rw./((p^m)*Rt.*(1+(B*Qv*Rw)/Sw))).^(1/n);
    sol=vpasolve(eq,Sw);
    a(i)=sol;
end
Sw_C=a';
fprintf('\n%2.4s\t%2.4s\n','array','Sw_C');
fprintf('%2.4f\t%2.4f\n',array,Sw_C)

Try this:

fprintf('%2.4f\t%2.4f\n',[array(:),Sw_C(:)].')

Hello sir, thank you for the help. I tried it but it didn't really work as shown under the script.

*note that I've renamed the variable "array" to "Rt"

syms Sw
format short
p=0.153;
Qv=0.980;
Rw=0.265;
m=1.86;
B=3.2;
n=2.2;
Rt=xlsread('watersat','Sheet1','A2:A45');
Sw_Lab=xlsread('watersat','Sheet1','B2:B45');
for i=1:length(Rt)
    Rteqn=Rt(i);
    eq=Sw==(Rw./((p^m)*Rteqn.*(1+(B*Qv*Rw)/Sw))).^(1/n);
    sol=vpasolve(eq,Sw);
    a(i)=sol;
end
Sw_C=a';
fprintf('\n%2.4s\t%2.4s\t%2.4s\n','Rt','Sw_C');
fprintf('%2.4f\t%2.4f\n',[Rt(:),Sw_C(:)].')

It turns out to look this way:

For some reason you have written the first fprintf format string with three conversion specifiers, but you have only provided two inputs to fprintf. This means that fprintf will simply stop after those two inputs have been processed, and does continue with the rest of the format string. The upshot is that the newline at the end does not get printed.

The format string that you showed in your question is correct. It is not clear why you made that change.

fprintf('\n%2s\t%2s\n','Rt','Sw_C');

Tip: if you want the columns to be aligned then you should change the field width to something like 8 or 10.

I am happy to help defining suitable format strings, but you will need to make a comment showing the exact output that you would like to achieve, correctly formatted as code.
