[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #43513] when constructing a matrix from one vector of doubles and one vector of ints, octave silently casts the doubles to ints

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #43513 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for your bug report. This is a commonly misunderstood feature of the
Matlab and Octave languages. Since the default variable type is a double, it
is treated as having the least precedence when mixed-type numeric expressions
are evaluated.

I believe it is documented here:
