[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53472] primes.m: char input producing weird behaviours

[Rik]

Update of bug #53472 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Fixed                  
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #2:

I think it is better to use strict input validation.  If a programmer has
typed


primes ('1')


it is more likely to be an error then the intended result.  If they really
want to know all primes less than 49 then they can explicitly say so by
converting the character to a number with double().


primes (double ('1'))


I tightened the input validation in this cset
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/8a92b651838b).

Marking as fixed and closing report.
