[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34352] sprand/sprandn density argument is not very accurate

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #34352 (project octave):

My opinion is that this does qualify as a bug.  I consider it a bug because
the user requests a given behavior and Octave neither honors the request nor
warns that it has failed.  In the same vein, we don't strive to match
undocumented Matlab behavior so I would push to commit the patch for sprand. 
It seems perverse to rely on a function to *not* do what it is documented to
do.  If sprand actually performs according to its documentation then user's
can reclaim the old behavior by adjusting the density value down.
