INT16 INT16 Convert to Signed 16-bit Integer Usage Converts the argument to an signed 16-bit Integer. The syntax for its use is y = int16(x) where x is an n-dimensional numerical array. Conversion follows the general C rules (e.g., if x is outside the normal range for a signed 16-bit integer of [-32768,32767], the least significant 16 bits of x are used after conversion to a signed integer). Note that both NaN and Inf both map to 0.
