Follow-up Comment #7, bug #36133 (project octave):
@Joe: Are you proposing that the two assert statements be added as BIST tests
to num2str.m?
Also, can you determine when Matlab switches from decimal to exponential
notation?
Try running this code:
for i = 1:25
x = 10^i;
str = num2str (x);
disp (str);
end
Octave never switches over to exponential notation
