Question

What is the difference between int8, int16 and 'double' in MATLAB

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with MatLab, but in general an int8 is an integer that can be expressed with 8 bits, so it could be -128 to 127.  An int16 can be from -32768 to 32767 (16 bits).  A double precision quantity is a floating-point number, and the range is usually up to about 10^308, with about 14 significant digits, since it uses 64 bits of storage.
