Scalar vs. vector

Do these statements yield identical types of objects? x = 3 and y = c(3) That is, intrinsically, is x, like y, a vector of length one, but created with abbreviated syntax?
No, y is like x, a vector of length one, only created with an overly long-winded syntax... (c() is for *concatenation*)
More simply: Are scalars really trivial vectors?
Yes.
