function a = hardlims(n,b)
%HARDLIMS Symmetric hard limit transfer function.
%	
%	HARDLIMS(N)
%	  N - SxQ Matrix of net input (column) vectors.
%	Returns 1 where N is positive, -1 elsewhere.
%	
%	EXAMPLE: n = -10:0.1:10;
%	         a = hardlims(n);
%	         plot(n,a)
%	
%	HARDLIMS(Z,B) ...Used when Batching.
%	  Z - SxQ Matrix of weighted input (column) vectors.
%	  B - Sx1 Bias (column) vector.
%	Returns hard limit of net input values found by adding
%	  B to each column of Z.
