Follow-up Comment #3, bug #55995 (project octave): This behavior may not be Matlab compatible, but it is not unknown. I just tested with Perl and it recognizes a dynamically scoped "next" statement (equivalent of continue). The "last" statement (equivalent of break) is also dynamically scoped. This probably should be discussed on the Octave Maintainer's e-mail list since it is a somewhat philosophical point. One advantage of the current behavior is that it is already coded. I don't know how difficult it would be to change it to have the same behavior as the break statement. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55995> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
