Hi Hamed. We certainly appreciate your interest in contributing to
Octave.

The "c2d" function is already fully implemented as part of the control
package, have you installed and tried that package?

The "abcdchk" function does not appear to be a documented function I can
see described anywhere. I have seen it referenced in a few user scripts
by web search, but it doesn't seem to be a documented part of Matlab's
core library or toolboxes. Is its purpose and functionality documented
anywhere? Is it really useful? How do we validate its behavior?

Aside from that, you may want to review Octave's contribution
guidelines, for example

We certainly do need lots of help, beyond creating new functions. You
might look at the bug and patch tracker to help fix or review possible
fixes for unresolved bugs and features.
