Create a Vector with Zero Values in R

In data analysis, sometimes we need to use zeros for certain calculations, either to nullify the effect of a variable or for some other purpose based on the objective of the analysis. To deal with such type of situations, we need a zero value or a vector of many ways to create a vector with zeros in R. The important thing is the length of the vector.

Examples

> x1<-integer(10)
> x1
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
> x2<-integer(20)
> x2
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
> x3<-numeric(10)
> x3
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
> x4<-numeric(20)
> x4
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
> x5<-replicate(10,0)
