Matlab/octave difference: the flops command

[gharikum]

Hi,

There seems to be a difference between how octave and process the 
"flops" command.

matlab has three invocations for flops

a = flops;
a = flops();
flops(n);          ( I am not sure what this one does)


Whereas octave has only one 

flops(); (gives a warning if any other type is used.)

Is there a variable I set to get rid of this incompatibility? 

Thanks. 

Hari.
