How to convert standard form to decimal notation?

42 views (last 30 days)
I have a section of code that produces answers in standard form (i.e. 1.527000e+03 ) and would like it in normal decimal notation (i.e. 1527). I have tried things such as format long and format short, but these do not work. As well as this, I have attempted dividng the answer by 1000 but this still gives the number in standard form (1.527e00).
Any help would be appreciated!

Using this appears to work for some values, but some still are shown in standard form

The long g format cannot display values like 1e61 oer 2e-38 in decimal notation. So please show some examples of values and explain, how you want to display them.
If you want a sprcific output, use frprintf instead of Matlab's automagical output.

if they are all integers
int32(variable)
Or int64 for larger range
