[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63940] `format native-bit` gives wrong results

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #63940 (project octave):

easy check here.  matlab 2022b:


>> pi

ans =

    3.1416

>> format bit
Error using format
Invalid format option bit.
 
>> format native-bit
Error using format
Invalid format option native-bit.


the only non-decimal format matlab has is hex.  


>> format hex
>> pi

ans =

   400921fb54442d18


based on their description for FORMAT HEX: 
"The HEX display corresponds to the internal representation of the value and
is not the same as the hexadecimal notation in the C programming language."

I'm sure sometime they'll implement a binary format and it'll conflict with
ours :)
