float to integer conversion anomalies

[Levente Torok]

Hi All, 

May be I am commenting something that has already been reported or even solved.
On octave-3.0.5 I found a somewhat inconsistent behavior.

octave:2> for i=.1:.1:2
> i*10
> endfor
ans =  1
ans =  2
ans =  3.00000000000000  <-????
ans =  4
ans =  5
ans =  6
ans =  7.00000000000000  <-????
ans =  8
ans =  9
ans =  10
ans =  11
ans =  12.0000000000000
ans =  13.0000000000000
ans =  14.0000000000000
ans =  15.0000000000000
ans =  16
ans =  17
ans =  18.0000000000000
ans =  19
ans =  20

Which is not a problem as long as I don't want to index with this. But if I do 
I got error message.

octave:3> for i=.1:.1:2
> z(i*10)=1;
> endfor
error: expecting integer index, found 3.000000
error: assignment failed, or no method for `matrix = scalar'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 4, column 8
error: evaluating for command near line 3, column 1
