write a code in MATLAB that converts decimal to IEEE-754 64 bit double precision

Solution

Matlab constructs a double precision or double based on IEEE-754 standards,

The double function can be used for that .

code:

x = int64(-47312847934219); % Creates a 64 bit integer.

y = double(x) % Convert to double

sample output.

y =   -4.7313e+13

By default the double-precision would be of 64 bit in matlab.
