Single-Precision Design for MATLAB Code

Convert double-precision MATLAB code to single-precision MATLAB code

Because single precision numbers use only 32 bits, they require less memory than double-precision numbers while still offering many of the benefits of floating point arithmetic. You can convert your double-precision MATLAB code to single-precision using the convertToSingle function at the command line.
