empty array
John Kane a ?crit :
Will mymatrix <- NULL do what you want?
Well, in your code, 'mymatrix' is not a matrix : a<-array(dim=c(0,0)) # Solution of Gabor Csardi <0 x 0 matrix> class(a) [1] "matrix" b<-NULL class(b) [1] "NULL" Your definition will probably works in most case, but in S4, the uses of type is an important point, so I need to use matrix where I shall use matrix, even if it is an empty one.

Hi the list Is it possible to create an empty matrix ? I do not mean an matrix with a single value that is NA (which is not empty) but a real empty one, with length=0. I do not understand why we have length(numeric()), length(factor()) and length(character()) to zero, and length(array()) to one... Any rason for that ? Thanks Christophe
