Re: Question about Range class

[Robert A. Macy]

Pedro,

In octave, two arguments...
 z = (1:100)/10

or, three arguments...
 Z = (1:0.1:10)
...give identical z arrays, but the increment is STILL
placed between the start and finish.  Going from two
arguments to three, one inserts the increment between.

I believe it is just one of those items that happened and
now it's a case of "live with it".  Which is fine, there is
no REAL reason to change it.
