Octave 3.2.4 - Error Calculating Powers of 2

[Vickreman Chettiar]

Hi.

 

  I have recently installed Octave, and I am trying to calculate the powers of two from 1 to 50 with the following code.

n=1:50; m=2^n; disp(m)

I keep getting the following error
error: for x^A, A must be square
and have not so far been able to perform the calculation in Octave.

 

  I see no reason why A has to be square, and I have checked the manual and confirmed that ^ is indeed the symbol for exponentiation. Am I doing something incorrectly, or is this a bug? How do I fix the problem?

 

I am using version 3.2.4 of Octave. My operating-system is the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Edition.

 

  Thank you and regards, Vickreman.
