[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42589] Inaccurate results with the colon operator

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #28, bug #42589 (project octave):

Perhaps "psychological" was the wrong word.  Maybe "expectations" would have
been a better choice.  It's always been my feeling that we need to change
Octave's behavior because, even though we are doing a perfectly acceptable
calculation that gets within eps of the exact value, people expect a different
result.  And when they can get the result they expect from other tools like
Matlab or Python we end up looking bad.
