isreal - check if a variable as real or complex entries

### Calling Sequence

  `t=isreal(x)`
  `t=isreal(x,eps)`

### Parameters

- `x` : vector or matrix with floating point entries or coefficients
- `t` : a boolean

### Description

`isreal(x)` returns true if `x` is stored as a real variable and false if `x` is stored with an (eventually zero) imaginary part.

`isreal(x,eps)` returns true if `x` is stored as a real variable or if maximum absolute value of imaginary floating points is less or equal than `eps` .

### Examples

    isreal([1 2])
    isreal(1+0*%i)
    isreal(1+0*%i,0)
    isreal(1+%s)
    isreal(sprand(3,3,0.1))
