Ones Function Giving Me Decimal Points

Hello!

I can't seem to figure out why the built-in function "ones" is giving me decimal points.

ex: >> ones(2)

ans =

1.00 1.00

1.00 1.00

You've turned on the 'bank' display format. That displays a double or single precision array with 2 decimal places regardless of whether it contains integer values or non-integer values.

format % short
A = ones(2) % no decimal places, none required to display A's contents

format bank
A = ones(2) % 2 decimal places

format long
A = ones(2) % no decimal places, none required
