Array to Scalar [message #4938]

I noticed, accidentally, that the multiplication of an array
by a scalar and multiplication of an array by an array of length 1
gives two different answers. Even though this is to be expected
for general arrays, there needs to be an exception for array of
size 1.

Consider the following example:

a=findgen(10)
; unrelated code
factor=interpol(....)

factor returns array of size 1 and if I use

a=a*factor

I am left with just one value whereas I expect
an array of size 10 each of the elments multiplied by factor!

My 2 cents worth!.
