[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47951] find complex number array elements with condition

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #47951 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Wont Fix               
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for the bug report. This is a documented incompatibility with Matlab.
There are few intentional incompatibilities, but this is one of them.

>From the manual section "Comparison Operators"

For complex numbers, the following ordering is defined: z1 < z2 if and only
if

  abs (z1) < abs (z2)
  || (abs (z1) == abs (z2) && arg (z1) < arg (z2))

This is consistent with the ordering used by max, min and sort, but is not
consistent with MATLAB, which only compares the real parts.

So complex(-1,0) is not less than zero intentionally.
