double

Double-precision floating-point real-world value of fi object

Syntax

b = double(a)

Description

b = double(a) returns the real-world value of a fi object in double-precision floating point format.

Fixed-point numbers can be represented as

$$real\text{-}worldvalue=2^{-fractionlength}\times storedinteger$$

or, equivalently as

$$real\text{-}worldvalue=(slope\times storedinteger)+bias$$

Examples

View Stored Integer of fi Object in Double-Precision Format

Create a signed fi object with values -1 and 1, a word length of 8 bits, and a fraction length of 7 bits.

a = fi([-1 1], 1, 8, 7)

a=1×2 object
   -1.0000    0.9922

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 8
        FractionLength: 7

Find the double-precision floating-point real-world value of the stored integers of fi object a.

b = double(a)

b = 1×2

   -1.0000    0.9922

Input Arguments

a — fi object to view in double-precision floating-point

Usage notes and limitations:

• For the automated workflow, do not use explicit double or single casts in your MATLAB^® algorithm to insulate functions that do not support fixed-point data types. The automated conversion tool does not support these casts. Instead of using casts, supply a replacement function. For more information, see Function Replacements.
