mtlb_realmin — Matlab realmin emulation function
Scilab equivalent for Matlab realmin
is
number_properties
but not all cases are implemented:
Scilab equivalent for Matlab realmin
or
realmin('double')
is number_properties("tiny")
.
There is no Scilab equivalent for Matlab realmin('single')
The function mtlb_realmin(prec)
is used by
mfile2sci
to replace realmin(prec)
when it was not
possible to know what was the input while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will
determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a
more efficient code it is possible to replace mtlb_realmin
calls:
If prec
is equal to "double"
mtlb_realmin(prec)
may be replaced by number_properties("tiny")
Caution: mtlb_realmin
has not to be used for hand coded functions.
