From documentation on data types --
Numeric data types include signed and unsigned integers, single- and
double- precision floating point, and sparse matrices of double-precision. The following hold true for numeric data types in MATLAB:

All MATLAB computations are done in double-precision.
Integer and single precision arrays offer more memory efficient
storage than double-precision.
All data types support basic array operations, such as subscripting
and reshaping.
To perform mathematical operations on integer or single precision
arrays, you must convert them to double precision using the double function.
