Syntax

X = str2double(str)
X = double(str)

Description

X = str2double(str) converts the text in string str to a double-precision complex value. If str2double cannot convert the text to a number, it returns a NaN value. Use this operator in the Requirements Table block.

example

X = double(str) is an alternative way to execute str2double(str).

Examples

In a Requirements Table block, convert the string "-12.345" to a double and output the value.

y = str2double("-12.345")

This image shows a requirement that outputs a double derived from a string "-3.145".

In a Requirements Table block, convert the string "1.234e5" to a double and output the value.

X = str2double("1.234e5")

This image shows a requirement that outputs a double derived from a string "1.234e5".

Input Arguments

expand all

Input value, specified as a string scalar.

str must contain text that represents a number, including:

  • Digits

  • A decimal point

  • A leading + or - sign

  • An e preceding a power of 10 scale factor

  • An imaginary part followed by an i or a j

Enclose literal string with double quotes.

Data Types: string

Output Arguments

Output number, returned as a double-precision complex scalar.

Limitations

  • This operator does not support the use of Simulink.Bus object fields.
