Purpose

nag_int generates integer values of type int32 or int64 depending on the implementation of the toolbox in use.

Syntax

[ival] = nag_int(val)

Description

nag_int casts a double value to either int32 or int64 depending on the implementation of the toolblox in use. The main use of this function is to allow code to be written that is portable between the 32 and 64 bit versions of the Toolbox.

References

None.

Parameters

Input Parameter

1: val – matlab value: Typically this is a scalar double value or an array of doubles.

Output Parameter

1: ival – int64: The input value will be cast to int32 or int64 using the primitive matlab int32 or int64 function as appropriate.
