issigned

Determine whether fi object is signed

Syntax

tf = issigned(a)

Description

tf = issigned(a) returns 1 (true) if the fi object a is signed. Otherwise, it returns 0 (false).

Examples

Determine Whether fi Object Is Signed

Create a fi object and determine whether it is signed or unsigned.

a1 = fi(pi,1)

a1 = 
    3.1416

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 16
        FractionLength: 13

tf = issigned(a1)

tf = logical
   1

a2 = fi(pi,0)

a2 = 
    3.1416

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Unsigned
            WordLength: 16
        FractionLength: 14

tf = issigned(a2)

tf = logical
   0

If a numerictype object with Auto Signedness is used to create a fi object, the Signedness property of the fi object automatically defaults to Signed.

T = numerictype('Signedness','Auto')

T =


          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Auto
            WordLength: 16
        FractionLength: 15

a3 = fi(pi,T)

a3 = 
    1.0000

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 16
        FractionLength: 15

tf = issigned(a3)

tf = logical
   1
