Update of bug #53683 (project octave):
Item Group: Incorrect Result => Regression

Follow-up Comment #2:
In previous versions of Octave:
for i = -2:8; 10^i/3, endfor
ans = 0.0033333
ans = 0.033333
ans = 0.33333
ans = 3.3333
ans = 33.333
ans = 333.33
ans = 3333.3
ans = 3.3333e+04
ans = 3.3333e+05
ans = 3.3333e+06
ans = 3.3333e+07
I believe Matlab also switches to scientific notation when the range of the
value exceeds the output precision setting.
