Bob has some questions. This is regarding the tests in the tests directory. Mostly I think it is pretty straightforward, but just to make sure I understand.

Most but not all of the files in the test directory have a series of entries of the form

%% test/octave.test/transpose/transpose-1.m
%!test
%! scalar = 2;
%! assert(scalar',2);

Question 1.

What does the first line

%% test/octave.test/transpose/transpose-1.m

do?  I don't find a file anywhere called transpose-1.m

Question 2.

Does the %! have some special significance, or does it just indicate that the embedded code is to be executed as part of the test?

Question 3.

What does the

%!test

line do?

Bob
