   You don't need an m-file for that - just use:

   disp(['x measures blah blah, its value is ' num2str(x)]);

If you want more control over the format of the numbers, you should
use the fprintf command, e.g.

  fprintf('x measures blah blah, its value is %.4g\n',x)

(you also have more explicit control over the line breaks).
