How to determine if you are in octave or matlab

[José Luis García Pallero]

Hi,
I use a function that not exists in MatLab and the try catch statement to check if I'm running in GNU/Octave or in MatLab. My function looks like:

%check if it runs GNU/Octave or MatLab
%in: nothing
%out: 1 if I'm in GNU/Octave
%        0 if I'm in MatLab
function [inOctave] = in_octave()
try
    OCTAVE_VERSION;
    inOctave = 1;
catch
    inOctave = 0;
end
