Math Help - MATLAB: Loading a file and digits

Hi guys

I am loading in a file using

Code:

load data.dat

which contains the numbers 1.123, 2.1234, 3.123456.

Now, how many decimals are stored in the variable data(i,1) where i is {1,3}? And can I vary this amount (I want the maximum amount).

Best,
Niles.

What do you get when you type data at the command prompt?

(you should have an array of doubles so they should have as many figures as in the file)

I just used

Code:

format long

to be on the safe side. Thanks.
