Lose of Precision when storing values

I would like to store values into a 1x50 double array, but I loose precision where everything is stored in e+07. Is there a way to overcome this and store the full numbers?

What do you mean, you loose precision? I guess you mean the numbers displayed in the command window, such as

x=[1e7 1.1]

x =

     1.0e+07 *

      1.0000    0.0000

No worries here, of course the second value is still 1.1, it's just not displayed:

>> x(2)

ans =

      1.1000

If you want to get more digits displayed, check out the format function:

>> format long
>> x=[1e7 1.1]

x =

     1.0e+07 *

     1.000000000000000   0.000000110000000

Hope this helps!

I tend to use

format long g

which avoids scientific notation as much as possible.
