32-bit unsigned integer arrays

Description

Variables in MATLAB® of data type (class) uint32 are stored as 4-byte (32-bit) unsigned integers. For example:

Name Size Bytes Class Attributes

y 1x1 4 uint32

For more information on integer types, see Integers.

Creation

Some array creation functions allow you to specify the data type. For instance,zeros(100,'uint32') creates a 100-by-100 matrix of zeros of typeuint32.

If you have an array of a different type, such as double orsingle, then you can convert that array to an array of typeuint32 by using the uint32 function.

Syntax

Description

Y = uint32([X](#d126e1939222)) converts the values inX to type uint32. Values outside the range [0,232-1] map to the nearest endpoint.

Input Arguments

expand all

Input array, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array.

Data Types: double | single | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint64 | logical | char

Examples

collapse all

Convert a double-precision variable to a 32-bit unsigned integer.

x = 100; xtype = class(x)

Extended Capabilities

Theuint32 function fully supports tall arrays. For more information, see Tall Arrays.

The uint32 function fully supports GPU arrays. To run the function on a GPU, specify the input data as a gpuArray (Parallel Computing Toolbox). For more information, see Run MATLAB Functions on a GPU (Parallel Computing Toolbox).
