array is approximated till fourth decimal

Test_Signal = [0.65163 0.07668 0.992269 -0.114643]

i have this array when i display it or check it in the work space it's approxaimated

till fourth decimal 0.0000 while it has 5 or 6 decimals 0.000000

how can i prevent it from approximation

[Rik]

In many programs there is a difference between how values are stored and how values are displayed. Matlab is no exception to this. Which do you want to affect?

sprintf('%.6f',val)%display with 6 decimals

It's not approximation, it's display format

Try

format long

[Hassan Bosha]

you mean when i use specific index in the array in an equation it's used with no approxiamation ?

You are mixing up two different things:

• how numeric data are stored in a computer,
• how numeric data are displayed by a computer.

What you see in the command window (or the Variable Viewer, or whatever) is just a displayed representation of the numeric data., it is not the numeric data itself. In MATLAB the Command Window representation can be controlled to show different number of fractional digits or precision, or use various notations: see the format command.

"when i use specific index in the array in an equation it's used with no approxiamation"

The precision of the numeric data stored or used in calculations does not change when you use indexing.

change the settings in preferences in matlab home page then u will get the required output in workspace
