Details:

I ran into a little inconsistency between MATLAB and Octave. MATLAB
initializes the loop index variable as empty if the loop is not entered.

MATLAB

>> clear
>> for k=1:0;end
>> whos
  Name      Size            Bytes  Class     Attributes

  k         0x0                 0  double              


Octave

>> clear
>> for k=1:0;end
>> whos
>>
