castFiToInt

Create a signed fi variable with a 16-bit word length and zero fraction length. This is equivalent to an int16 data type. Cast the variable to the equivalent integer data type using the castFiToInt function.

u = fi(25,1,16,0);
y1 = castFiToInt(u)

y1 =

  int16

   25

The cast64BitFiToInt function casts only 64-bit word length fi objects with zero fraction length to an equivalent integer data type. All other input data types retain their original data type.

In this example, because the input is not a 64-bit word length fi, the output is the same as the input.

y2 = cast64BitFiToInt(u)

y2 = 

    25

When you pass a fi object with a 64-bit word length and zero fraction length into the cast64BitFiToInt function, the output is an int64.

u = fi(25,1,64,0)
y3 = cast64BitFiToInt(u)

y3 =

  int64

   25

When the input is a fi object with a non-zero fraction length, both functions return the original fi object because the input cannot be represented by an integer data type.

u = fi(pi,1,64,32);
y4 = cast64BitFiToInt(u)

y4 = 

    3.1416

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 64
        FractionLength: 32

y5 = castFiToInt(u)

y5 = 

    3.1416

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
