[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #31974] Interpreter fails to create complex numbers with Inf complex parts

[David Bateman]

Update of bug #31974 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #1:

Just "Inf *i" is sufficient to show this behavior. However, I'm not sure this
is a bug. Read carefully what you've written and how Octave will treat it.
That is "1 + Inf*i". Octave will parse this as "(1) + (Inf * (i))". The "(i)"
equals "0 + i", which when multiplied by "Inf" has "Inf * 0" in the real part
and guess what "Inf * 0" is "NaN"

What does Matlab do in this case? I suspect it does the same as Octave. If it
does I propose to mark this bug as invalid.
