Details:

In Octave when you type

>> date()
ans = 19-Mar-2018
>> date('today')
ans = 19-Mar-2018
>> date('tomorrow')
ans = 19-Mar-2018
>> date('whatever')
ans = 19-Mar-2018
>>

It neither provide right answer nor any error,
Where in MATLAb,

>> date('today')
Error using date
Too many input arguments.
 
>> date('today')
Error using date
Too many input arguments.
 
>> date('tomorrow')
Error using date
Too many input arguments.
 
>> date

ans =
