B = [int8(50) int16(5000)]
B =
50 127
The first operation returns a vector of 16-bit integers. The second returns a
vector of 8-bit integers. The element int16(5000) is set to 127, the maximum
value for an 8-bit signed integer.

Note You can find the maximum or minimum values for any MATLAB
integer type using the intmax and intmin functions. For floating-point types,
use realmax and realmin.
Example of Combining Signed with Unsigned. Now do the same exercise
with signed and unsigned integers. Again, the left-most element determines
thedatatypeforallelementsintheresultingmatrix:
A = [int8(-100) uint8(100)]
A =
-100 100
B = [uint8(100) int8(-100)]
B =
100 0
The element int8(-100) is set to zero because it is no longer signed.
MATLAB evaluates each element prior to concatenating them into a combined
array. In other words, the following statement evaluates to an 8-bit signed
integer (equal to 50) and an 8-bit unsigned integer (unsigned -50 is set to
1-14
