The zero indexing function can be used to construct rtable objects of type Array, Matrix, or Vector.

In the construction of a Matrix, the zero indexing function specifies a Matrix whose entries all have the value 0.

The specification is the same in the construction of Arrays and Vectors.

Under normal circumstances, Maple does not allocate any storage for the entries.

$V≔\mathrm{Vector}\left(5\,\mathrm{shape}=\mathrm{zero}\right)$

$V≔\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\ 0\\ 0\\ 0\\ 0\end{array}\right]$

$M≔\mathrm{Matrix}\left(1..4\,1..4\,\mathrm{shape}=\mathrm{zero}\right)$

$M≔\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 0\end{array}\right]$
