Create a Matrix with Only One Row in R

To create a matrix with only one row in R, we can set the nrow argument of matrix function to 1.

For example, if we want to create a matrix say M with only one row then it can be done by using the command given below −

M<-matrix(1:5,nrow=1)

Check out the below examples to understand the output of one row matrix.
