Hi David and Ryan, >> I believe the resize function in fixed_pkg already provides the >> beginning of the rounding capabilities you describe.

Since the infrastructure is there, this seems the proper way of implementing the additional rounding modes. > The current enumeration handles two of the eight possibilities. Matlab > doesn't (directly) offer two of the eight. Indeed, the MATLAB language offers ceil, floor, fix, round, nearest, convergent. A quick overview of these modes follows (just for reference): | Mode | Description | | ceil | Round to plus infinity | | floor | Round to minus infinity | | fix | Round to zero | | nearest | Round to nearest; ties to greatest absolute value | | round | Round to nearest; ties to plus infinity | | convergent | Round to nearest; ties to closest even | Ryan: do you mean that some rounding modes e.g. round to nearest; ties to minus infinity are missing? Such cases could be added for symmetry and in order to have all options there. > My plan was to implement the new rounding functions as described int > IEEE-754-2008 in both fixed and floating point.
