just be carful, what you see in the screen is not always the
actual binary value of the number.
EDU>> n=rand(1,1)
n =
0.8147
EDU>> format long
EDU>> n
n =
0.814723686393179
EDU>> num2strexact(n)

One way to convert to string: decide on the number of
digits you want, and you can use sprintf:
EDU>> s=sprintf('%3.10f',n)
0.8147236864
EDU>> s=sprintf('%3.16f',n)
0.8147236863931789
or you can use num2str second argument:
EDU>> num2str(n,10)
0.8147236864
EDU>> num2str(n,16)
0.8147236863931789
