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

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #31974 (project octave):

So Matlab seems to have a special case for Inf*[complex unit].  One
additional test is to see whether Matlab behaves correctly for XXX*[complex
unit] where XXX is any value or whether 'Inf' is actually special.  My guess
is that the parser does something like this.


XXX*j  is translated to function call complex (0, XXX)

rather than translating to XXX * complex (0, 1) as Octave does.

Final test case:
NaN*j

I think this will yield 0 + NaNi in Matlab
