[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61199] Allow 'char' input sets to nchoosek for Matlab compatibility

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #61199 (project octave):

Yeah, we should probably document the preferred style for writing tests.

%!xtest came before the idea of adding bug report numbers to the tests.  Now
that tests can be tagged with bug numbers, I think %!xtest is mostly
obsolete.

You can use


%!test <NNNNNN>
%!  additional test lines
%!  are usually indented

%!assert <NNNNNN> (condition)
%!assert <NNNNNN> (test_expr, expected_result)


Note that using "%!  assert (...)" in a multi-line test block is just a call
to the assert function and is not the same as "%!assert", so you can't use a
bug number there.

Prefixing a bug number with "*" (i.e., "<*123456>" indicates that the bug
status is "fixed", so any failure will be reported as a regression, not a
known bug.  The "update-bug-status" target in the Makefile will search for
tests with numbers, get the status from the bug tracker, and then edit the
sources to add the "*" if needed.
