Your 'x' has length 2, so x[[3]] cannot be calculated ('subscript out of
bounds' is what I get). You can check for this with length(x)<3.
In general, you want to be more precise: 'does not have a value', 'is
NULL', and 'is empty' are not synonymous. I'm not sure what 'does not have
a value' means to you. NULL is a value with a certain type, 'NULL', and
length, 0. seq_len(0) is empty, but not NULL, since it has type 'integer'.
c(1,NA) contains a 'missing value'. Can you explain what what you are
trying to check for, giving some context?
