[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63848] Mean: single class inputs can overflow with sum producing wrong mean

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #63848 (project octave):

Is this really an overflow issue with `sum`? The expected approximate result
of the summation (80e6*0.5) is still far from `realmax('single')` (approx.
3.4e38).
I'd guess it is an issue caused by the limited precision of floating point
numbers...
