Bug?

[Dr.-Ing. Dieter Jurzitza]

Dear listmembers,
when printing with printf I stumbled across something strange (to me ...):

>> A=linspace(0,10,10);
>> printf("%d\n", A);
0
1.11111
2.22222
3.33333
4.44444
5.55556
6.66667
7.77778
8.88889
10
>>

I intentionally forced linspace to create a list of floats.

I say strange because I didn't expect this. The format specifier "%d" says an 
integer is going to be printed. And what is the outcome? floats!

Matlab does apparently the same - so, is this (in my understanding erratic 
...) behaviour a compatibility - feature?

Thank you very much for clarifying,
take care

if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font
with constant spacing like courier! :-)
