Hi! I have a problem with the number format in Matlab. I've written
an m-file that calculates a couple of things, and then I store the
results in a vector. So I would get answers like 0, 2, 1.6797e+10.
When this gets stored, the 2 basically falls away and becomes zero,
because it's converted the answers in the form of 1.0e+10. Hence, my
while loop never terminates, because my condition is never met, since
some of my answers are falling away, due to the errors. I tried
typing format short before running my m-file, but that didn't work. I
tried typing 'format short (f)', but that didn't work. Is there any
way of possibly rounding off my 1.6797e+10, or making sure my 2
doesn't fall away, in my vector? Please help! I would appreciate it!
