| A colleague just tried it on Matlab and got a double quote as well.
Try this:
abs (sprintf (''''))
abs ('''')
Do they produce 39 (the ASCII code for ') as we would expect, or do
you get 34 (the ASCII code for ")?
You are reading the above correctly, right? That's four consecutive
single quote characters (i.e., ', ASCII 39 decimal) in the sprintf
call.
