double
converts inttype integers or booleans into decimal encoding
Syntax
y = double(X)
Arguments
- X
matrix of encoded integers or booleans
- y
matrix of numbers in decimal notation
Description
converts data stored using 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes integers into
decimal representation on 8 bytes. If X
entries are already double precision floats, nothing is done.
 | double() and iconvert(..,0)
are equivalent and have the same speed. |
| Booleans can also be processed with double().
However, bool2s() does it roughly twice faster. |
 | Since the mantissa of uint64 is encoded on
64 bits while the mantissa of (double precision) decimal
numbers is encoded only on 52 bits, the relative accuracy of
uint64 integers greater than 252
may then be up to
212 ~4000 times better for them
than for "double". As a consequence, applying
double() on int64 or
uint64 integers greater than 252
change their values
and downgrades their accuracy (roundoff errors). Some examples illustrating
such effects are provided herebelow. |
