Details:
Hi,
I just noticed that
isindex ("a")
returns 1, which seems to be in line with what the interpreter does:
>> [1:255]("abc")
ans =
97 98 99
This is counterintuitive, but maybe intended. However, the documentation for
isindex states "Valid indices are either positive integers (although possibly
of real data type), or logical arrays", which to my mind does not include
strings, so the output of the first example is not what I would expect.
