Typecast a hexadecimal character array or cell array of strings to an
array of numbers.

By default, the input array is interpreted as a hexadecimal number
representing a double precision value.  If fewer than 16 characters are
given the strings are right padded with @qcode{'0'} characters.

Given a string matrix, @code{hex2num} treats each row as a separate number.

@example
@group
hex2num (["4005bf0a8b145769"; "4024000000000000"])
   @result{} [2.7183; 10.000]
@end group
@end example

The optional second argument @var{class} may be used to cause the input
array to be interpreted as a different value type.  Possible values are

@multitable {Option} {Characters}
@headitem Option @tab Characters
@item @qcode{"int8"} @tab 2
@item @qcode{"uint8"} @tab 2
@item @qcode{"int16"} @tab 4
@item @qcode{"uint16"} @tab 4
@item @qcode{"int32"} @tab 8
@item @qcode{"uint32"} @tab 8
@item @qcode{"int64"} @tab 16
@item @qcode{"uint64"} @tab 16
@item @qcode{"char"} @tab 2
@item @qcode{"single"} @tab 8
@item @qcode{"double"} @tab 16
@end multitable

For example:

@example
@group
hex2num (["402df854"; "41200000"], "single")
   @result{} [2.7183; 10.000]
@end group

Convert a numeric array to an array of hexadecimal strings.

For example:

@example
@group
num2hex ([-1, 1, e, Inf])

string has a length of 8.  For example:

@example

@result{} "bf800000
    3f800000

With the optional second argument @qcode{"cell"}, return a cell array of
strings instead of a character array.
