Operations with int and single

[Israel Herraiz]

Hi,

I have noticed that Octave behavior when operating with int and single
variables differs from MATLAB.

In Octave this works:

 octave:1> int16(3)+single(4)
 ans = 7

However, the same operation in MATLAB:

 >> int16(3)+single(4)
 Error using +
 Integers can only be combined with integers of the same class, or scalar 
doubles.

In general, in MATLAB, int variables (int8, int16, uint8, etc) can
only operate with integers of the same class, or with doubles, but not
with singles.

Is this behavior in Octave intended?

Thanks.

Israel
