Talk:MATLAB Programming/Differences between Octave and MATLAB

['abc';'abc']
At least in Matlab R2015a, it works as intended.
 * I reckon it would work in MATLAB. And why would it be 4 columns wide in Octave??? —DIV (120.17.98.150 (discuss) 06:00, 24 January 2019 (UTC))

Please remain neutral
There's quite an anti-MATLAB point of view in the language used in this text at the moment, using phrases like "MATLAB chokes on this" (which is a correct colloquial expression for what happens, but since the example is of commands that are not legal MATLAB syntax, the implication that MATLAB somehow breaks or fails to run correctly is false) or "This is a kludge" or "Octave properly parses this" (both systems parse the example *properly*, but for one system it is not valid syntax).

This chapter should take a neutral tone of voice, appealing both to MATLAB users and Octave users. I use Octave and I don't want Octave users to come across as sounding like they have a grudge against MATLAB! Please help edit this page to a good neutral point of view. I'll make some changes now.

 * I agree, to avoid edit conflicts I won't make any changed until you're done, but the information in the article, though useful, could use some NPOV-itizing. Mattb112885 (talk) 23:37, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

We should reorganize this article into language differences, function differences, library differences. Angry bee (discuss • contribs) 20:04, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

please update - MATLAB 7.0 is very outdated.
release 7.0 is release 14 which was shipped way before 2006. some of the statements are just incorrect or not valid anymore.

Reorganization
For the benefit of the reader, I think this article should be reorganized in two parts: Usually users are accustomed to either one and would like to make their code friendlier for the other environment. I admit there might be some overlap between the two parts, but the point is that users who are interested in one of the two wouldn't be interested in the other part. Your thoughts?

 * Matlab code that won't run in Octave
 * Octave code that won't run in Matlab


 * I agree with your comment on readers/users, but disagree about your proposal for the article. —DIV (120.17.98.150 (discuss) 06:29, 24 January 2019 (UTC))
