how to convert the float into binary ?? the float values are audio samples and also the negative values are there

[x,fs] = wavread('C:\Users\hp\Desktop\ee.wav'); the valuess of in 26121*1double.... float2bin is not working for the double it produce the error as undefined function'float2bin'for the input arguments of double

MATLAB does not have an inbuilt function named "float2bin". Where did you find this function? Did someone give it to you or did you write it yourself?

This is an ill-defined problem, unless you specify what encoding method you want. And MATLAB does not have an inbuilt function named "float2bin", which is why you are getting this error. This is a topic that has been discussed before on MATLAB Answers, and even some other forums:

Although it is important to note that the problem is ill-defined, because "There is no one right answer on how to represent a fractional number in binary" (quoted from Peter at the last link).

i got the answer from the first link..
