(0.68389,-0.00148444) this represents (real,imag). I was trying to create a complex array using MATLAB for the same. Now, when i did this, MATLAB gave me 0.6839 - 0.0015i which is not as precise as my actual value. Is there any way i can increase the precision or the number of significant bits?

Thanks

Change the display format using the FORMAT function. Note that this does not have any effect on the stored numbers, which are stored in double precision.
