[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47676] Error applying multiplication-assignment operator to variable defined in script

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #47676 (project octave):

Carlo, I agree that Matlab's response of throwing an error is better than
Octave's of silently giving the wrong answer.

If Octave did "proceed with an unexpected value assigned to Csb", then I would
consider it very much worse.  However, this issue only affects the printing of
the non-semicolon "Csb /2".  If we actually do anything with the value (like
using it in an assignment or function call), then I think Octave parses it
correctly.
