They represent exactly the same number. How can you convert a number to itself?

What exactly do you mean by "recall" ? I did a search of the MATLAB documentation for "recall", but nothing relevant seemed to be returned. I have no idea what you are doing or how you are doing it, because "recall" is not a standard MATLAB term.
