Integer Precision (Scilab gateway)

How to get precision of an integer matrix.

Syntax

SciErr getMatrixOfIntegerPrecision(void* _pvCtx, int* _piAddress, int* _piPrecision)
SciErr getNamedMatrixOfIntegerPrecision(void* _pvCtx, const char* _pstName, int* _piPrecision)

Arguments

_pvCtx

Scilab environment pointer, pass in "pvApiCtx" provided by api_scilab.h

_piAddress

Address of the variable.

_pstName

Name of the variable for "named" functions.

_piPrecision

Return precision of an integer variable. If value is greater then 10 then the variable is unsigned.

SciErr

Error structure where is stored errors messages history and first error number.

Description

This help describes how to get precision of an integer matrix.
