Yes, but I wasn't interested in the function itself, rather in learning
how to drive Octave.  Any sufficiently diverse function would do.

Yes, that's because I found that if I end all assignment lines with semi-
colons, when I call the function no results are printed.  When I remove
the semicolons from the result lines, Octave does print the result.  Is
this not the expected behavior?
