Follow-up Comment #10, bug #60482 (project octave):
Second question depends on the first to some extent. If we accept "char" data
it would also seem consistent that we accept "char" bin centers.
However, if we do that I think the input validation becomes very hard. If I
use 'N' for numeric and 'C' for char then these two calling forms are fairly
indistinguishable.
hist (Y, X, NORM)
N, C, N
hist (Y, PROPERTY, VALUE)
N, C , N
On the other hand, if bin centers can only be numeric then the first form is
NNN and can be distinguished from the second.
