Re: how to instal, or upgrade, the latest octave version on windows 7

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I have used the following source in the octave manual.

//HelloWorld.cc
#include <iostream>
#include <octave/oct.h>
     
     int
     main (void)
     {
       std::cout << "Hello Octave world!\n";
       int n = 2;
       Matrix a_matrix = Matrix (n, n);
       for (octave_idx_type i = 0; i < n; i++)
         {
           for (octave_idx_type j = 0; j < n; j++)
             {
               a_matrix (i, j) = (i + 1) * 10 + (j + 1);
             }
         }
       std::cout << a_matrix;
       return 0;
     }
// End of HelloWorld.cc


octave:5> mkoctfile --link-stand-alone HelloWorld.cc -o HelloWorld
octave:6> system ('HelloWorld')
Hello Octave world!
 11 12
 21 22
ans = 0

Worked as expected

Regards

Tatsuro
