Frequently asked questions about Octave (with answers)
Frequently asked questions about Octave (with answers)
Preface
This is a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) for Octave users.
Some information in this FAQ was written for earlier versions of
Octave and may now be obsolete.
I'm looking for new questions (with answers), better answers, or
both. Please send suggestions to bug@octave.org. If you have general
questions about Octave, or need help for something that is not covered
by the Octave manual or the FAQ, please use the help@octave.org mailing
list.
This FAQ is intended to supplement, not replace, the Octave manual.
Before posting a question to the help-octave mailing list, you should
first check to see if the topic is covered in the manual.
