[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #31512] Problem with code on Linux octave 3.2.3 and 3.2.4/// OK on mac w/ 3.2.3

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #31512 (project octave):

I think JWE is right.  You might want to try the following code in Octave and
Matlab.


format long
rem([2; 2.1], 0.1)
ans =

   0.0999999999999999
   0.1000000000000000


As you can see, 2.0/0.1 leaves a remainder when calculated with binary
numbers which would not be the case for base10 numbers.

If Matlab is playing tricks with the divisor it would be very interesting to
know that.
