NUM2HEX Convert Numbers to IEEE Hex Strings

Usage

Converts single and double precision arrays to IEEE hex strings. The syntax for its use is

   y = num2hex(x)

where x is either a float or double array. The output y is a n-by-p character array, where n is the number of elements in x, and p is 16 for double arrays, and 8 for single arrays.

Example

Some interesting numbers

--> num2hex([1 0 0.1 -pi inf nan])

ans = 

 3ff0000000000000
 0000000000000000
 3fb999999999999a
 c00921fb54442d18
 7ff0000000000000
 7ff8000000000000

The same in single precision

--> num2hex(float([1 0 0.1 -pi inf nan]))

ans = 

 3f800000
 00000000
