What is the difference between convertToString and num2str?

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
I would like to understand the difference between the two functions "convertToString" and "num2str". I have used both to convert a double value to a string so that it can be displayed using the "disp" function.
I have checked the Matlab documentation, and the "convertToString" function does not seem to be included.
Hopefully somebody can enlighten me as to the differences.

As you have found out already, convertToString() is not a documented function of Matlab. I do not even know this function. So please explain, where you find it:
which convertToString
Either it is not documented, or defined by a user. Maybe the output is an object of the new String class:
s = convertToString(1)
class(s)
while num2str creates a char vector
s = num2str(1)
class(s)
