Update of bug #58147 (project octave): Priority: 5 - Normal => 3 - Low Item Group: Matlab Compatibility => Feature Request Status: None => Confirmed _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #2: The error message isn't bad because there is significant ambiguity when converting a negative number to binary. There are multiple representations and, although 2's complement is a popular one, there are other representation such as signed magnitude which make sense and might be preferable. If Octave is going to implement this, then it needs to document the choice that was made (2's complement). _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58147> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
