55 ## Known @sc{matlab} Incompatibility: @sc{matlab}'s @code{dec2bin} allows
56 ## non-integer values for @var{d}, truncating the value using the equivalent
57 ## of @code{fix (@var{d})} for positive values, but, as of R2020b and in
58 ## conflict with published documentation, appears to use
59 ## @code{round (@var{d})} for negative values. To be consistent with
60 ## @code{dec2hex} and @code{dec2base}, Octave produces an error for non-integer
61 ## valued inputs for @var{d}. Users wanting compatible code for non-integer
62 ## valued inputs should make use of @code{fix} or @code{round} as appropriate.
