min_int_type.m

Minimum integer data type sufficient to store the specified value. Useful in many indexing operations in the Spinach kernel where double precision would be a massive overkill.

Syntax

           type=min_int_type(max_val,issigned)

Arguments

       max_val  - maximum value that the integer
                  must cover
       issigned - whether the integer needs to
                  cover the negative values:
                  'signed' or 'unsigned'

Outputs

       type     - Matlab data type to use
