Is there strict matlab compatible mode?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

'**' is not available in matlab. But it is available in octave even
with '--traditional' specified. I think that there is not a strict
matlab compatible mode but I want to ask to make sure. If one develops
some code on octave but want to make it run on matlab without testing
on matlab, is there a way to do so? Thanks.

~$ octave --traditional
>> 2**3
ans =  8
>>
