MATLAB no longer displaying fractions in symbolic calculation.

My MATLAB no longer displays results in fraction form, even in symbolic calculations.

say I want to do the fraction addition of 1/3 and 1/2, I type

sym(1/3)+sym(1/2)

I get the result: 0.8333

I have tried to do many other symbolic calculations but all fractions are now converted to decimal in the format short.

code

syms t
f(t)=exp(t/100)*sin(t/4)
I=int(f,t)

result:

f(t) =

I(t) =

I need theresults to be in fractional form, not in the format short.

sympref('FloatingPointOutput', false)

THANKS, this was really helpful. Just did what I expected.

for curiosity, I learned that to switch back to the previous format I can just change the false to true.

that one line answer has made my day.
