For the functions you mention, this is actually a documentation issue.<br>
These built-in functions have support for all numeric types:<br>
<br>
fspan<br>
ispan<br>
maxind<br>
minind<br>
max<br>
min<br>
dim_max<br>
dim_min<br>
dim_max_n<br>
dim_min_n<br>
isnumeric<br>
isenumeric<br>
issnumeric<br>
filedimdef<br>
sinh<br>
cosh<br>
tanh<br>
sin<br>
cos<br>
tan<br>
asin<br>
acos<br>
atan<br>
atan2<br>
ceil<br>
floor<br>
fabs<br>
log<br>
exp<br>
log10<br>
sqrt<br>
-----<br>
sprinti supports all integer types.<br>
<br>
Apparently the docs need updating. And clearly there are still many<br>
functions that have not been updated.<br>
