Splitting a real number into several integers depending on position.

Good afternoon guys,

This seems abit confusing, but this is what i am trying to accomplish.

If i have x=0.4321

I need a way to split this real number into just single integers, so for example

x1=0, x2=4, x3=3.... and so on, with the number after the 'x' corresponding to its position in the original real number.

is there a way to do this?

To give a wider context, i will have a f(x) = 0.AB rounded down to 2dp. The actual values of A and B are the coordinates to find a value within a large matrix.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Why not turn the number into a string?

y = num2str(x);
y = y(y(:)~='.'); % Remove '.'

With this you are left with the numbers following the decimal, and if you would like to call them one at a time then you can just index y.

Y = str2num(y(3));

Works perfectly, thank you sir!
