Hi
I'm trying to convert a hex string to a float in the same manner python function struct.unpack(), https://docs.python.org/3/library/struct.html , which is using the IEEE754 binary32 0r 64 depending on foat or double.
As an example I have
hex = 'C956F53D'
When i run it in a struct.unpack() i get the value:
data = 0.1198
And this is correct. However, when i try the following matlab function i get something totally different.
>> hex2dec(hex)
ans =
3.3779e+09
>> typecast(uint32(hex2dec(hex)),'single')
ans =
single
-8.8047e+05
Does anybody know the difference or what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

This is the correct way
hex = 'C956F53D';
x = hex2dec(reshape(hex, 2, []).');
dec = typecast(uint8(x), 'single')

Yes, you need to convert it into an uint8 array. Then MATLAB reads the bytes from the input array and converts those bytes into 'single'. It is pretty similar to pointer typecasting in C.
I am glad to be of help!

Could be a Big Endian vs Little Endian thing. E.g., inserting a swapbytes( ) step:
>> hex = 'C956F53D'
hex =
'C956F53D'
>> typecast(swapbytes(uint32(hex2dec(hex))),'single')
ans =
single
0.1198
