If I modify histc.m to look like what you have here:

> Here is the histc file:

> [N, IDX] = histc (...)

then I get the same error.

Why did you change the contents of histc.m? You should probably restore
the original function file or reinstall Octave if you have to.

If you are just learning how to use Octave, it's best not to edit and
make changes to function files provided with the software.
