[Scilab-users] Dump the output of a function

[sgougeon at free.fr]

Hello Clément,

OK for your confirmation. Unfortunately, in Scilab "_" can't be used, because _() is a defined function aliasing gettext(), and Scilab needs it as is.

I don't think it was a good thing to use a single character to define such an alias, but it is as is.
It would be unlikely possible to rename it... Would it?

Best regards
Samuel

Hello Christian, Samuel,

My 2c, most of the modern languages supporting such a feature are using the one-character variable
trick; sometimes enforced by conventions. For example, Go, Rust and Python are using `_` as in :

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

This character appears as a visual blank thus the function call is easily readable.

Regards,
