Fri 11 Jan 2019 12:39:12 PM UTC, comment #4: I'm +1 for adding quotes around the string display. This would help differentiate it from other types. E.g. numerics: >> x = 1.234 x = 1.2340 >> y = '1.2340' y = 1.2340 and @datetime, if Octave gains that functionality.	Andrew Janke <apjanke>
Mon 26 Mar 2018 06:04:19 PM UTC, comment #3: Ok, I've updated the summary. It could be argued that quotes around a string would look better.	Mike Miller <mtmiller>
Mon 26 Mar 2018 05:57:48 PM UTC, comment #2: I am not saying implementing string class here. I am saying at least if the char/string output comes within '' it would look good and would be more intuitive.	Dildar Sk <hodor123456>
Mon 26 Mar 2018 05:53:07 PM UTC, comment #1: Thanks for the bug report. Can you explain what you think the difference is? To me the difference is bug #50855.	Mike Miller <mtmiller>
Mon 26 Mar 2018 06:13:27 AM UTC, original submission: In MATLAB, >> 'hodor123456' ans = 'hodor123456' >> "hodor123456" ans = "hodor123456" >> num2str('hodor123456') ans = 'hodor123456' But in GNU Octave, >> 'hodor123456' ans = hodor123456 >> "hodor123456" ans = hodor123456 >> num2str('hodor123456') ans = hodor123456 So, how MATLAB treats Char and String is very fancy and intuitive. So, if this feature also get implemented in Octave would be good.	Dildar Sk <hodor123456>
