In MATLAB, you can convert a string to an integer using the str2num() or str2double() functions. The basic syntax for str2num() is:
num = str2num(str);
where str is the string you want to convert and num is the resulting integer.
Here's an example:
str = '123';
num = str2num(str);
disp(num);
Output:
123
You can also use the str2double() function to convert a string to a double-precision floating-point number:
str = '123.456';
num = str2double(str);
disp(num);
Output:
123.4560
Note that str2num() and str2double() will both return NaN (not a number) if the input string cannot be converted to a number, for example if the string contains non-numeric characters:
str = 'abc123';
num = str2num(str);
disp(num);
Output:
NaN
