MATLAB: Convert 0.008 to binary

binarydecimal

Since the function dec2bin only works for integers, how can I convert 0.008 to binary?

There are several submission in the File Exchange that do this. I have not used any of them, but here is one that is highly rated: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/13899-floating-number-conversion-to-binary-and-vice-versa

As Walter mentions, you need to take care about competing conventions.

MATLAB: How to convert an unsigned integer to a signed integer without causing an overflow or using TYPECAST in Simulink 7.9 (R2012a)

The workaround is to carry out the conversion manually, in Simulink or in MATLAB. As an example the MATLAB code to convert a 16-bit integer is outlined below and the Simulink alternative can be found in the attached model 'convert.mdl'.

isNegative = int16(bitget(u,16));
convertedValue = int16(bitset(u,16,0)) + (-2^15)*isNegative;

The code checks the most significant bit of the unsigned integer to determine if the value will become a positive or negative signed integer.

-If positive the converted value is just a simple conversion to a signed integer as no overflow will take place.

- If negative the the first 15 bits are converted to a signed integer and the smallest signed integer value (-2^15) is added to achieve the wrapped signed value of the original unsigned integer.
