how to mention picoseconds unit of time.

Is there any to direct way write picosecond unit in matlab instead of 1e-12.

Answer 1

[ES]

Do you mean this?

ps='*1e-12';
eval(['30',ps])%30 picoseconds

ans =

3.0000e-011

nops i want to know is there any direct syntx for defining picoseconds unit in matlab. I know by default its second.

[Vijender]

Actually if i write your method or directly write 1e-12 then in long format it matlab give 9.9999999999999999999e-11 instead of 1e-12

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

MATLAB does not have any default time unit. Individual routines have time units. Routines that deal with dates use number of days and fraction of days; routines that deal with pausing or waiting use seconds (and those routines are not able to get picosecond resolution.)

If you were to give more context, we might be able to make a suggestion.
