choose number of significant digits in matlab for whole code

I'm trying to format my code in such a way that a chosen number of significant digits are saved, throughout the whole code. Basically, I'm looking for something that does the same as the function round(x, d, 'significant'), but will retain this effect during calculations. Any ideas?

    You are aware that the round off error is going to accumulate, right? e.g. if you are only interested in integers then 2.5 + 3.5 would be interpreted as 2 + 3 == 5 whereas the real result is 6 and (obviously) 5 ~= floor(6) so the point at which you round is important.

  • Since the OP specifically asks for this effect to be retained in calculations, I'd say it is safe to assume that they're aware of rounding issues, Nicky. On topic: check out the documentation on digits and vpa if you have access to the symbolic math toolbox. Otherwise, I would not know of a solution besides changing the precision from the standard double to, for instance, single.

SQL update select statement

Image
0 I'm trying to update an entry in my database (postgresql). I'm having a problem with updating the query: INSERT INTO prices (price, product_id) SELECT product_price, commn_id FROM products_temp as prod WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM prices od WHERE prod.commn_id = od.product_id) OR prod.product_price != ( SELECT price FROM prices as p WHERE p.product_id = prod.commn_id order by p.end desc LIMIT 1 ) Query works fine when i delete: OR prod.product_price != ( SELECT price FROM prices as p WHERE p.product_id = prod.commn_id order by p.end desc LIMIT 1 ) So it seems to me that it's looping through this operation. My question is, how can I fix it? sql postgresql
