Format Rat Matlab
The specified format applies only to the current matlab session.
Format rat matlab. N d rat x tol returns n d approximating x to. If you consider the first two terms of the expansion you get the approximation 3 1 7 2 2 7 which only agrees with pi to 2 decimals. Matlab always displays integer data types to the appropriate number of digits for the data type. The rats function calls rat and returns strings.
To maintain a format across sessions use matlab preferences. Los formatos numéricos sólo afectan a cómo aparecen los números en la salida de la ventana de comandos no cómo matlab los calcula o guarda. All computations in matlab are done. If you consider the first two terms of the expansion you get the approximation 3 1 7 2 2 7 which only agrees with pi to 2 decimals.
The following two options affect the display of all matrices. Rational approximations are generated by truncating continued fraction expansions. To maintain a format across sessions choose a numeric format or line spacing option in the command window preferences. However if you consider all three terms printed by rat you can recover the value 355 113 which agrees with pi to 6 decimals.
N d rat x returns arrays n and d so that n d approximates x to within the default tolerance 1 e 6 norm x 1. From the matlab prompt help format format set output format. Format rat uses a continued fraction algorithm to approximate floating point values by ratios of small integers. The rat function attempts to do this.
The result is an approximation by continued fractional expansion. You can insert a space between short or long and the presentation type for instance format short e. The result is an approximation by continued fractional expansion. The specified format applies only to the current matlab session.
See rat m for the complete code. However if you consider all three terms printed by rat you can recover the value 355 113 which agrees with pi to 6 decimals. Matlab always works in double precision unless you are using the symbolic math toolbox but output display can be changed with the format command. To see which type is currently in use type.
