Syntax

str = mat2str(A)
str = mat2str(A, n)
str = mat2str(A, 'class')
str = mat2str(A, n, 'class')

Description

str = mat2str(A) converts fi object A to a string representation. The output is suitable for input to the eval function such that eval(str) produces the original fi object exactly.

example

str = mat2str(A, n) converts fi object A to a string representation using n bits of precision.

example

str = mat2str(A, 'class') creates a compact string representation of the fi object A. The output string includes the fi object's value, numerictype, and fimath..

str = mat2str(A, n, 'class') uses n bits of precision to create a compact string representation of the fi object A.
