Open Live Script

Use getlsb to find the least-significant bit in the fi object a.

a = fi(-26, 1, 6, 0);
c = getlsb(a)
c = 
     0

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Unsigned
            WordLength: 1
        FractionLength: 0

You can verify that the least significant bit in the fi object a is 0 by looking at the binary representation of a.

disp(bin(a))
100110
