why does hdf5read function return only 4 decimal places instead all numbers

Hi all,

I run this code to read dataset in my test.hdf5 file. It return me 0.6996 instead of the whole 0.699552191362574. Please guide.

hinfo = hdf5info('test.hdf5');
dset = hdf5read(hinfo.GroupHierarchy.Datasets(1));

and here is my test.hdf5 file. test.hdf5

Look at the documentation for format.

>> hinfo = hdf5info('test.hdf5');
dset = hdf5read(hinfo.GroupHierarchy.Datasets(1));
dset

dset =

      0.6996

>> format long
>> dset

dset =

     0.699552191362574
