Hi,
I run into following problem. It seems to me that operation in the 3rd line
should be valid.
b = matrix(as.raw(0), 8,8)
q = as.raw(1:8)
b[1,] = q
Error: incompatible types in subset assignment
length(b[1,])
[1] 8
typeof(b[1,])
[1] raw
length(q)
[1] 8
typeof(q)
[1] raw
Is this a bug
I didn't know anything about as.raw(), so I did ?as.raw and it refer
to raw vector, so my guess is that it doesn't work with matrix types.
The following modified code seems to work, however:
b = matrix(0, 8,8)
q = 1:8
b[1,] = q
b - as.raw(b)
dim(b) - c(8,8)
HTH,
Roger
