Dear all, I have a problem with the cat() function. Let say I have following:

fn1 <- function(n = 5){
mat <- matrix(rnorm(5*5), 5, 5)
cat(as.character(mat))
return(n)
}

However when I run above function I get this:
> fn1()
-0.601930631438248 -1.16950049447942 0.469257329394626

-0.440738636680476[1] 5


How can I preserve the "matrix" format while printing?

Thanks,
