dec2hex with int types

[Schirmacher, Rolf]

Hello,

with octave 3.0.3 on windows, I get the following strange results:

octave.exe> hex2dec(dec2hex((1234)))
ans =  1234
octave.exe> hex2dec(dec2hex(single(1234)))
ans =  1234
octave.exe> hex2dec(dec2hex(double(1234)))
ans =  1234
octave.exe> hex2dec(dec2hex(int16(1234)))
ans =  1490
octave.exe> hex2dec(dec2hex(uint16(1234)))
ans =  1490
octave.exe> hex2dec(dec2hex(int32(1234)))
ans =  1490
octave.exe> hex2dec(dec2hex(uint32(1234)))
ans =  1490

As you might conclude from

octave.exe> dec2hex((1234))
ans = 4D2
octave.exe> dec2hex(uint32(1234))
ans = 5D2

the issue is with dec2hex, not with hex2dec.

Thanks in advance for any hint or help.

Rolf
