Thanks Mike for your reply. Yes I have built Octave from source, by doing hg
clone -> then mkdir .build -> cd .build -> make all -> make check

I also looked at other function test cases. I also read documentation about
how and why test cases are written.

I also wrote some silly test cases for "isinteger". Then I have to 'make',
again, then I ran test <complete path to data.cc>.
(make process is too slow, do I have to always do 'make' before I can test
my changes?) 

I have - Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit OS
I cloned the latest source.

Should I show you my test?, or should I submit a patch?

Thanks
NVS
