Creates or tests for arrays.
array(x, dim = length(x), dimnames = NULL) as.array(x) is.array(x)
array returns an array with the extents specified in dim
and naming information in dimnames. The values in x are
taken to be those in the array with the leftmost subscript moving
fastest. If there are too few elements in x to fill the array,
then the elements in x are recycled.
as.array() coerces its argument to be an array by attaching a
dim attribute to it. It also attaches
dimnames if x has names.
The sole purpose of this is to make it possible to access the
dim[names] attribute at a later time.
is.array returns TRUE or FALSE depending on
whether its argument is an array (i.e., has a dim attribute)
or not.
dim(as.array(letters)) array(1:3, c(2,4)) # recycle 1:3 "2 2/3 times" # [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] #[1,] 1 3 2 1 #[2,] 2 1 3 2
