sdvt

Set or display the default value type (precision).

Syntax

sdvt
sdvt(p)

Description

Without an argument, prints the current default precision (the element type used for new arrays when no class is specified). With argument p (a string like 'double', 'single', 'int32', 'longdouble'), sets it. Affects subsequent calls to zeros, ones, rand, etc.

MathJet-specific.

Examples

sdvt('single')           % default precision now single
sdvt                     % print current default
