MATLAB: Finding the power of a number

finding the power

hello, actually what i wanted to know is: if i have a number like 0.6543e+013. Now i just need 0.6543.so i need to divide by 10^the power.but i cant understand how to find this value of power.Is there any function available in matlab that can give me my value…?

Thank you, Ekta

Best Answer

a=0.6543e+013 
power=ceil(log10(a)-1)
b=10^(log10(a)-power)

% the result b is always between 1 and 10, if you want the result to be between 0 and 1 add

power=power+1
b=b/10

Use intersect():

Z =[0.0024    0.0019    0.0015    0.0012    0.0010    0.0007    0.0005    0.0003    0.0002]
Y =[0.0031    0.0024    0.0019    0.0015    0.0012    0.0010    0.0007    0.0005    0.0003    0.0002]
X = intersect(Z, Y)

MATLAB: How to separate signals with diffrent frequencies

Add the following lines of code at the bottom of your code (after y=x+randn(size(x)).*sigma;):

ffty = fft(y);
ffty = abs(ffty(1:ceil(length(y)/2)));
ffty(ffty<100)=0;
[~,locs] = findpeaks(ffty);
freqs = (locs-1)/t(end)
signal_1 = sin(2*pi*t*freqs(1))+sin(2*pi*t*freqs(2))+sin(2*pi*t*freqs(3)); % 3-10
signal_2 = sin(2*pi*t*freqs(6))+sin(2*pi*t*freqs(7)); % 50-100
subplot(211), plot(t,signal_1)
subplot(212), plot(t,signal_2)
