[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60084] h=figure n throws an error

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #60084 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

This is expected behavior. Calling `figure 6` is equivalent to `figure("6")`.
Using the command syntax might set the `ans` variable (if the command has an
output argument). But it cannot be used in assignments.
Use the function syntax instead: `h = figure(7)`.
