Details:

Hello Octave,

On Octave 7, nchoosek fails for integer inputs:


octave:1> nchoosek (uint8 (10), uint8 (5))
error: colon operator increment invalid (not an integer or out of range for
given integer type)
error: called from
    nchoosek at line 124 column 13


On Octave 6 at https://octave-online.net/, the result is correct:


octave:1> nchoosek (uint8 (10), uint8 (5))
ans = 252
