Usage
The cast function allows you to typecast a variable from one
type to another. The syntax for its use is
y = cast(x,toclass)
where toclass is the name of the class to cast x to. Note
that the typecast must make sense, and that toclass must be
one of the builtin types. The current list of supported types is
- 'cell' for cell-arrays
- 'struct' for structure-arrays
- 'logical' for logical arrays
- 'uint8' for unsigned 8-bit integers
- 'int8' for signed 8-bit integers
- 'uint16' for unsigned 16-bit integers
- 'int16' for signed 16-bit integers
- 'uint32' for unsigned 32-bit integers
- 'int32' for signed 32-bit integers
- 'uint64' for unsigned 64-bit integers
- 'int64' for signed 64-bit integers
- 'float' for 32-bit floating point numbers
- 'single' is a synonym for 'float'
- 'double' for 64-bit floating point numbers
- 'char' for string arrays
