function a = hardlims(n,b)
%HARDLIMS Symmetric hard limit transfer function.
%	
%	Syntax
%
%	  A = hardlims(N)
%	  info = hardlims(code)
%
%	Description
%	
%	  HARDLIMS is a transfer function.  Transfer functions
%	  calculate a layer's output from its net input.
%	
%	  HARDLIMS(N) takes one input,
%	    N - SxQ matrix of net input (column) vectors.
%	  and returns 1 where N is positive, -1 elsewhere.
%	
%	  HARDLIMS(CODE) returns useful information for each CODE string:
%	    'deriv'  - Name of derivative function.
%	    'name'   - Full name.
%	    'output' - Output range.
%	    'active' - Active input range.
%	
%	Examples
%
%	  Here is how to create a plot of the HARDLIMS transfer function.
%	
%	    n = -5:0.1:5;
%	    a = hardlims(n);
%	    plot(n,a)
%
%	Network Use
%
%	  You can create a standard network that uses HARDLIMS
%	  by calling NEWP.
%
%	  To change a network so that a layer uses HARDLIMS set
%	  NET.layers{i}.transferFcn to 'hardlims'.
%
%	  In either case, call SIM to simulate the network with HARDLIMS.
%	  See NEWP for simulation examples.
%
%	Algorithm
%
%	    hardlims(n) = 1, if n >= 0
%	                 -1, otherwise
%
%	See also SIM, HARDLIMS.
