INT8 INT8 Convert to Signed 8-bit Integer Usage Converts the argument to an signed 8-bit Integer. The syntax for its use is y = int8(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 8-bit integer of [-128,127], the least significant 8 bits of x are used after conversion to a signed integer). Note that both NaN and Inf both map to 0.
