MATLAB: Ones Function Giving Me Decimal Points

decimal pointsones

Hello!
I can't seem to figure out why the built-in function "ones" is giving me decimal points.
ex: >> ones(2)
ans =
1.00 1.00
1.00 1.00

Best Answer

You've turned on the 'bank' display format. That displays a double or single precision array with 2 decimal places regardless of whether it contains integer values or non-integer values.
format % short
A = ones(2) % no decimal places, none required to display A's contents
format bank
A = ones(2) % 2 decimal places
format long
A = ones(2) % no decimal places, none required
