[Gretl-devel] why does this matrix/series mishmash work?

Hi, I've come across a strange piece of code which goes more or less like this: <hansl> open denmark matrix M = zeros($nobs,2) series M[1,] = ones(1,2) print M </hansl> Note the "series" specifier in the third line. I would have expected an error there, but this works with the same result as if "matrix" were given there. (Or nothing.) This is with gretl 2024b. So what's the point? I think a type mismatch error would be the right thing for a statically typed language like hansl. thanks sven
