Double Mat Lab

Converting symbolic values to double precision is useful when a matlab function does not accept symbolic values.

The matlab functions log1p and expm1 calculate log 1 x and e x 1 accurately for very small values of x. Numeric variables are automatically stored as 64 bit 8 byte double precision floating point values. If str is a character vector or string scalar then x is a numeric scalar. Log 1 eps 2 ans 0 however log1p is able to return a more accurate answer.

Description double s converts the symbolic value s to double precision. Double is the default numeric data type class in matlab providing sufficient precision for most computational tasks. Choose a web site to get translated content where available and see local events and offers. For example if you try to add a number smaller than machine precision to 1 then the result gets rounded to 1.

Str can be a character vector a cell array of character vectors or a string array. Str contains text that represents real or complex numeric values. Any value stored as a double requires 64 bits formatted as shown in the table below. The im2double function does not rescale the output when the input image has single or double data type.

Double is the default numeric data type class in matlab providing sufficient precision for most computational tasks. For differences between symbolic and double precision numbers see choose numeric or symbolic arithmetic. Many matlab functions expect pixel values to be in the range 0 1 for truecolor images of data type single or double. Numeric variables are automatically stored as 64 bit 8 byte double precision floating point values.

Select a web site. The range for a negative number of type double is between 1 79769 x 10 308 and 2 22507 x 10 308 and the range for positive numbers is between 2 22507 x 10 308 and 1 79769 x 10 308. Matlab constructs the double precision or double data type according to ieee standard 754 for double precision. X str2double str converts the text in str to double precision values.
