Details:

In v 2021a, Matlab's format command accepts a format specifyer 'default' which
is the equivalent to calling 'format' without any input specifiers to restore
the default state.  


R2021a: format with no arguments is not recommended
Not recommended starting in R2021a

The format command, by itself, resets the output display format to the
default, which is the short, fixed-decimal format for floating-point notation
and loose line spacing for all output lines.

format
For clearer code, explicitly specify the default style (since R2021a).

format default


for compatability, we should probably support this option as well.
