i've always accepted that e=exp(1) is a constant available in Octavejust like pi and others. But i wrote code using e as a constant only todiscover it didn't work when a friend tried to run it on Matlab.I've never used Matlab but assumed there would be compatability at sucha basic level.Is there a reason why? and other than defining the variable e=exp(1) incode for Matlab, is there a better way? thx Jas
I'm confused. Are you asking why Octave handles "e" as it does "pi" or why Matlab does not?
Regarding a better way, I'd create a function in Matlab and place it in the path.
----------- save as "e.m" ----------- function a = e () a = exp(1); end ------------------------------------------ That way "e" will be available to all your scripts and functions. Ben
