How to return double or float values from poly2sym ?

Hi,

Is it possible to make poly2sym returning double or float values instead integer fractions as shown below ?

p =

    1.0000    2.5058    4.6396    5.2776    4.1493    2.1970    0.5122
 
>> poly2sym(p)
 
ans =
 
x^6 + (1410654599222945*x^5)/562949953421312 + (5223704754939755*x^4)/1125899906842624 + (5942013819553297*x^3)/1125899906842624 + (233585282

Thanks.

No. However, you can vpa() the result to get symbolic floating point numbers. These will not be single precision or double precision numbers.

You can pass a second parameter to vpa() to select the number of decimal places you want.
