That will happen if you create a variable called "output_precision" by
doing something like
output_precision = 2;
and then try to get the second element of the output_precision array
by doing
output_precision (2)
since the ouptut_precision variable you created only has one element.

Try
clear output_precision
output_precision (2)
or restart Octave and just type
output_precision (2)
