[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50202] automatic padding: a(3)=4

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #50202 (project octave):

Per comment #8, that is the correct behavior, although someone could double
check in matlab.

When you do


x(idx) = val;


the equivalent pseudo-code is


x(1:idx-1) = NULL;
x(idx) = val;


where NULL is appropriate to whatever the underlying class is.  For doubles,
NULL is 0.0.  For logical types, NULL is 0 or false.
