"<>" causes syntax error

[Sergei Steshenko]

Hello All,

I've tried to use "<>" operator:

"
octave:52> if(1 <> 2) printf("not equal\n"); endif
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> if(1 <> 2) printf("not equal\n"); endif
          ^

octave:52>  
".

According to http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Comparison-Ops.html#Comparison-Ops
:

"
x <> y
True if x is not equal to y.
".

Other variants work:

"
octave:52> if(1 != 2) printf("not equal\n"); endif
not equal
octave:53> if(1 ~= 2) printf("not equal\n"); endif
not equal
octave:54>
".

'octave' version is 3.0.0.

Thanks,
  Sergei.
