Hello everyone
I know other, more knowledgeable, people
have replied to Christophe's question, but
perhaps the List would be interested to know
that zero-extent arrays are useful (to me at least)
because although such an array has no content, the
dimname are nevertheless retained:

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
Will
mymatrix <- NULL do what you want?

Sure:

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 on
6 matches
