Help with printing output

I was trying to print some output that looks like this

Hours Linear Interpolation Nearest Interpolation

13.00 74.52 77.40

22.00 30.02 36.30

41.00 22.68 22.00

...and this is my coding...

disp('  Hours   Linear Interpolation    Nearest Interpolation') 
fprintf('  %.2f         %.2f                    %.2f\n', hours2(1), x(1), y(1))
fprintf('  %.2f         %.2f                    %.2f\n', hours2(2), x(2), y(2))
fprintf('  %.2f         %.2f                    %.2f', hours2(3), x(3), y(3)

I got the output that I want, but is there a way to make the coding looks more beautiful? and I also needed to add space manually to the data(value) so that it alligns with its column in which I thinks that it is kinda ineffecient.

Instead of adding spaces manually you can set the fieldwidth:

hours = [13,22,41];
x = [74.52,30.02,22.68];
y = [77.40,36.30,22.00];
fprintf('  Hours   Linear Interpolation    Nearest Interpolation\n')
fprintf(' %6.2f %8.2f %24.2f\n',[hours;x;y])

Prints:

  Hours   Linear Interpolation    Nearest Interpolation
  13.00    74.52                    77.40
  22.00    30.02                    36.30
  41.00    22.68                    22.00

    fprintf('  %.2f         %.2f                    %.2f\n', [hours2(:).'; x(:).'; y(:).']) % Look documentation for adding space notation
