Hi Ajss,
You instantiated mt as a vector, not a list. Try:
row <- c(3,4,6,4,5)
mt <- vector("list", length(row)) # list with length of "row" elements
for (i in 1:5){
mt[[i]] <- matrix(nrow=row[i], ncol=4)
}
mt
Or in one line:
mt <- lapply(1:5, function(x) matrix(nrow = x, ncol = 4))
mt
Hope this helps,
Josh
