Create a zero matrix.

Inspired by MatLab's zeros function to easily create a multi-dimensional array populated with zeros.

zeros(dims)

Arguments

dims

A numeric vector representing the dimensions of the array.

Value

A multi-dimensional array of zeros.

Examples

# Create a 10-row by 2-column matrix of zeros
zeros(dims = c(10, 2))
#>       [,1] [,2]
#>  [1,]    0    0
#>  [2,]    0    0
#>  [3,]    0    0
#>  [4,]    0    0
#>  [5,]    0    0
#>  [6,]    0    0
#>  [7,]    0    0
#>  [8,]    0    0
#>  [9,]    0    0
#> [10,]    0    0

# Create a 3-d array with 10-rows and 2-columns
zeros(dims = c(3, 10, 2))
