`int32`

Converts values to signed 32-bit integers, from -2147483648 to 2147483647.

Syntax

B = int32(A)

Converts A to class int32.

Description

Fractions are rounded to the nearest integer, with ties going away from zero. Out-of-range values saturate at intmin('int32') or intmax('int32') instead of wrapping around, and NaN becomes 0. Arithmetic between a int32 and a double gives a int32, rounded after the operation; mixing two different integer classes is an error.

The class has no representation for Inf or NaN, so int32(Inf) is intmax('int32').

Input arguments

A: Numeric, logical or char array.

Output arguments

B: Array of class int32, same size as A.

Example

Rounding and saturation

int32(5) / int32(2)
int32(7) / 2
int32(1e10)
int32(NaN)
class(int32(3))

Output

ans = int32
   3
ans = int32
   4
ans = int32
   2147483647
ans = int32
   0
ans = 'int32'
