Hello octave-bug
I have tried the as follows with octave.

---------
/home/carsten> octave
GNU Octave, version 2.0.16 (alpha-suse-linux-gnu).

octave:1> 7 & 4
ans = 1
octave:2> 5 | 3
ans = 1
octave:3> 7 % 4
ans = 7
octave:4 
-----------

I expected that & and | operator should work as an bitwise-AND and bitwise-OR
(as in C and MATLAB)
I would expect.
octave:1> 7 & 4
ans = 4
octave:2> 5 | 3
ans = 7

And the remain remain operator % is interpret as a comment(#)?
I would expect:
octave:3> 7 % 4
ans = 3

Best regards

Carsten Rasmussen
