Details:

octave accepts rand(2.5), not eye(2.5). octave seems to do rand(round(n))


octave:11> version
ans = 5.1.1
octave:12> eye(2.5)
error: eye: conversion of 2.5 to int value failed
octave:12> rand(2.5)
ans =

   0.45678   0.59128   0.71431
   0.74580   0.18234   0.58583
   0.61076   0.82043   0.76781


matlab:


>> rand(2.5)
Error using rand
Size inputs must be integers.
