function output = RemoveTrailingZeros(input,ndd)
INPUTS:
input: n x m double array
ndd: number of decimal digits, whole double, ndd >= 0, optional, default = 2
OUTPUT:
output: n x m cell array
Process time on my PC: 3.5 s for a 1000 x 1000 array (6 ms + 3.5 us per number)
EXAMPLES:
Format with default precision (2 decimal digits) and remove trailing zeros:
output = RemoveTrailingZeros([1.23456, 2.5]);% output: [{'1.23'} {'2.5'}]
Format with 4 decimal digits and remove trailing zeros:
output = RemoveTrailingZeros([1.23456, 2.5],4);% output: [{'1.2346'} {'2.5'}]
