[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49794] display vs. disp functions

[Amro]

Follow-up Comment #24, bug #49794 (project octave):

Here's the same running in R2016b:


>> version
ans =
9.1.0.441655 (R2016b)
>> format compact
>> x = pi / 4
x =
    0.7854
>> disp (x)
    0.7854
>> disp (sin (x))
    0.7071
>> disp (0.7071)
    0.7071
>> display (x)
x =
    0.7854
>> display (sin (x))
    0.7071
>> display (0.7071)
    0.7071



>> s.a = 1
s = 
  struct with fields:

    a: 1
>> disp (s)
    a: 1
>> disp (s.a)
     1
>> display (s)  
s = 
  struct with fields:

    a: 1
>> display (s.a)
     1


Apparently this was a bug in "display" which got fixed in R2016b.

You might have also noticed the "header" printed on top of native types. This
was added in R2016b, and documented in the release notes:
