Follow-up Comment #28, bug #42589 (project octave): Perhaps "psychological" was the wrong word. Maybe "expectations" would have been a better choice. It's always been my feeling that we need to change Octave's behavior because, even though we are doing a perfectly acceptable calculation that gets within eps of the exact value, people expect a different result. And when they can get the result they expect from other tools like Matlab or Python we end up looking bad. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?42589> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
