ConstantArray
ConstantArray
generates a list of
n
copies of the element
c
.
ConstantArray
generates an
array of nested lists containing copies of the element
c
.
MORE INFORMATION
ConstantArray

A machine-zero vector:
A vector of exact zeros:
A machine-zero matrix:
A matrix of exact zeros:
A vector of ones:
A machine-number vector of ones:
A deeply nested constant array:
Applications
(3)
Set up an array to use as storage in a program:
Numerically solve
using Euler's method:
Find the sum of the elements in a list:
This can also be done with
Total
:
Use a vector of ones to see the effects of conditioning on the solution of a linear system:
The solution at machine precision has significant errors:
At higher precision, the solution is much better:
