Data type conversion for mod operation result.

Hi, I am working with Matlab 2010b. I need to change the default datatype[double] in mod operation to uint8/unit16...?? Could you please guide me...

Answer 1

[Purushottama Rao]

c=int16(mod(200,3))           
will generate c as 16 bit integer class

c=int8(mod(200,3))           
will generate c as 8 bit integer class

Thanks for the info... I will try with the option you have mentioned..

If one input has an integer data type, then the other input must be of the same integer data type or be a scalar double.

When you do use an integer datatype for either parameter, the output will be in that datatype.

If you want mod() to return a different datatype than double then you need to input your parameters as that datatype. Otherwise you need to convert afterwards as shown by Purushottama Rao
