factorial function won't take a cell argument independently of it's class (double, integer, etc)

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
i can't calculate the factorial of a cell element (being it an array), though it is double (checked it with class funct.) and factorial doing fine with a double array... and neither it works using int16 or uint16 conversions on the cell element (called bins {1}) it simply states that "N must be a matrix of non-negative integers." and i do give it such thing.

This is because of your MATLAB version. Here using MATLAB 2010b:
>> factorial(uint16([3.4 2.8]))
??? Error using ==> factorial at 17
N must be a matrix of non-negative integers.
>> factorial(round([3.4 2.8]))
ans =
6 6
The second line of code actually throws an error for this case:
~isa(N,'double')
which you would have found by simply clicking on the error message link.

Could you confirm that you are calling factorial(bins{1}) ? If so what is class(bins{1})

This works just fine:
% Make a 1-by-10 vector of random integers in the range 1-9
dblBins = randi(9, 1,10)
% Stick into a 1 by 2 cell array.
bins = {dblBins, dblBins}
% Extract the contents of the first cell and take it's factorial
f = factorial(bins{1})
Chances are you have non-integers in there or negative numbers.

No problem in the least here.
factorial(uint16([3.4 2.8]))
ans =
6 6
Note that the result is a uint16 number. So it is trivial to generate an overflow.
factorial(uint16(9.3))
ans =
65535
And...
factorial(uint16(bins{1}))
ans =

Perhaps you need to tell us which release of MATLAB you are trying this with?
