Run a function using Octave from terminal

Question

I want to run a function - let's say test - inside my test.m file. I want to run this function using Octave from terminal. So, it should be something like:

$>/Users/me/octave/bin/octave test(param1,param2)?

How can I accomplish this? I can do that in Matlab. But I didn't find a way in Octave.

Octave's docs on this can be found here. To run a function with input args:

In Terminal cd to your working directory.
Type octave to open an interactive session.
ls to check that your function's file is in your working dir, cd to the dir if not.
Type the function's name immediately followed by the input args in brackets in the correct order, Eg: >foo(100). Your function will then run, spitting out whatever you print as well as all the results for lines of code not ending with ;.
