int16
16-bit signed integer arrays
Description
Variables in MATLAB® of data type (class) int16
are stored as
2-byte (16-bit) signed integers. For example:
y = int16(10);
whos y
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes y 1x1 2 int16
For more information on integer types, see Integers.
Creation
Some array creation functions allow you to specify the data type. For instance,
zeros(100,'int16')
creates a 100-by-100 matrix of zeros of type
int16
.
If you have an array of a different type, such as double
or
single
, then you can convert that array to an array of type
int16
by using the int16
function.
