[Scilab-users] Dump the output of a function

[Samuel Gougeon]

Hello Christian,

AFAIK there is presently no way to skip an output parameter. The more 
handy would be
[,y2,,y4] = f(x)
but unfortunately, it does not work (yet?).
I did not find this feature as a wish on bugzilla. IMO it should be.
It is possible to use a one-character variable name, for instance among 
%, #, ! or ?.

--> [%,%,kb] = intersect(grand(1,10,"uin",0,9), grand(1,10,"uin",0,9));
--> kb
  kb  =

    7.   5.   2.

Even if the tilde was allowed, it is not very smart. A true blackhole 
would be better.

Regards
Samuel
