Hi I have done double precision floating point operations with matlab Now I have to do single precision. But I dont know how to do this in matlab what problem I am facing is suppose 1.234e50 this number is within range for double precision. But in case of single it is infinity so op1 = 2 op2 = 1.234e50 op1 / op2 = 1.620745542949757e-050 in case of double which i am getting directly. But in case of single precision it should be zero.
So in matlab is there any command through which we can set precision as single

Use SINGLE to convert values to single precision
x = 1.234e50
z1 = 2/x
z2 = single(2/x)
