Convert double scalar to half-precision floating point (IEEE 754r) - MATLAB Cody - MATLAB Central

Problem 1165. Convert double scalar to half-precision floating point (IEEE 754r)

Difficulty:
(21)
Rate

Use MATLAB to convert a scalar double into a half-precision floating point. The return value should be a uint16.

The half-precision floating point format is specified here, and is the source for much of the test suite:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating-point_format

This is an implementation in C if you want some inspiration to get started:

As other problems related to half-precision are added, I will try to link them here.
