base10¶
Purpose¶
Breaks number into a number of the form #.####... and a power of 10.
Format¶
-
{ M, P } =
base10(x)¶ - Parameters:
x (scalar) – number to break down.
- Returns:
M (scalar) – in the range -10 < M < 10.
P – integer power such that:
\[M*10^P = x\]
Examples¶
{ b, e } = base10(4500);
After the code above:
b = 4.5 e = 3
and
b*10^e = 4.5*10^3 = 4500
