function names

[michaelschmid1]

I tried yesterday evening to define a function
called "minmax"

function pr = minmax(p)

pr = p;

endfunction

but Octave doesn't accept this name.

function pr = min_max(p) was ok.

Why that? This should be a new function, not interpreting the min function...

Octave Version 2.9.3 on cygwin

Thanks for any answers
Michael
