If I set a variable in Matlab, say var1 = 2.111, after running the script, Matlab returns var1 = 2.1110. I want Matlab to return the original number, with no trailing zero. Anyone know how to do this. Thanks in advance.

By default Matlab displays results in Short fixed decimal format, with 4 digits after the decimal point. You can change that to various other format such as:
long
Long fixed decimal format, with 15 digits after the decimal point for double values, and 7 digits after the decimal point for single values.
3.141592653589793
shortE
Short scientific notation, with 4 digits after the decimal point.
Integer-valued floating-point numbers with a maximum of 9 digits do not display in scientific notation.
3.1416e+00
longE
Long scientific notation, with 15 digits after the decimal point for double values, and 7 digits after the decimal point for single values.
Integer-valued floating-point numbers with a maximum of 9 digits do not display in scientific notation.

However I don't think other options are available. If you absolutely want to remove those zeros you would have to cast you result in a string and remove the trailing 0 characters and then display your result as a string and not a number.
