Inconsistent recycling in R?

81 views Asked by At

In R code example 1:

mat <- matrix(1, nrow = 4, ncol = 4)
avec <- c(2, 3)
mat[avec, avec] <- 0

mat is:

1    1    1    1
1    0    0    1
1    0    0    1
1    1    1    1

But in example 2:

res <- avec + avec

res is (4, 6)

In other words, in example 1, recycling avec generates the pairs (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 2), and (3, 3), while in example 2, the pairs are (2, 2) and (3, 3). Isn't the recycling inconsistent in these two examples?
