You may use the semicolon (;) to suppress output in functions, and in
general on any statement. For example:

function y = f(x)
y = (2.0/sqrt(pi))*exp(-x*x);   % NOTE
endfunction

Then for defining x again use semicolon:

x = linspace(0,0.01,200);

But not here, so you can see the final result:

quad ("f", 0, 2.5, 1.0e-6)

As typed above, the commands should only output the final number
(0.99959).

Hope that helps.
