MATLAB Function Reference |
Largest possible value of specified integer type
Syntax
Description
v = intmax
is the largest positive value that can be represented in MATLAB with a 32-bit integer. Any value larger than the value returned by intmax
saturates to the intmax
value when cast to a 32-bit integer.
v = intmax('classname')
is the largest positive value in the integer class classname
. Valid values for the string classname
are
'int8' |
'int16' |
'int32' |
'int64' |
'uint8' |
'uint16' |
'uint32' |
'uint64' |
intmax('int32')
is the same as intmax
with no arguments.
Examples
Find the maximum value for a 64-bit signed integer:
Convert this value to a 32-bit signed integer:
Compare the result with the default value returned by intmax
