[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36133] num2str fails to switch from integer output to exponential notation for large values

[Rik]

Update of bug #36133 (project octave):

              Item Group:       Inaccurate Result => Matlab Compatibility   
                 Summary: num2str displays more than 16 significant digits for
large integer inputs => num2str fails to switch from integer output to
exponential notation for large values

Follow-up Comment #14:

Matlab behavior has changed since this bug was originally reported.  This is
all to the good because sprintf is now compatible without us having to change
anything.  Mixed floating point / integer arrays are also displayed
correctly.

The remaining difference is integer arrays with large values.  I have re-title
the bug report to reflect that.  I'm also changing the classification to
"Matlab Compatibility".

I pushed a changeset which updates the BIST tests for num2str to focus on this
remaining difference.  See
