what is the meaning of int16>=int16

I am using a function that reads my binary file as

fread(data,int16>=int16)

clearly the output is not the same as saying to read as integer16, but can't quite grasp what matlab does here. Anyone with some insight?

thanks

The "source=>output" option in fread means that input values are of the type source, and the output is of the type output.

The following will read data from the file pointed by fid, assuming that the data in the file is of the format int16 and converted the data into int16 for output format. doc fread for more details.

data = fread(fid, "int16>=int16")

ok thx for the answer guys, but then if one does not constrain the output, fread(fid,int16) we can endup with float .. ok i see
