MATLAB: How to tell if running 32- or 64-bit Matlab

Question

How can I tell if I am running 32- or 64-bit Matlab?

Several people suggest using the "computer" function, but doesn't that just tell you about your OS? For example, if I am running 32-bit Matlab on a 64-bit platform, wouldn't "computer" tell me 64 bits?

Answer 1

You could use
