Use s[,i]<-k instead of s[,i]<-k[i] since k=sqrt(i) assigns a
single value to k. Hence k[1] will be the same as k, but for
i>1 k[i] will always be NA.
A better way to do the whole thing (in your example) is simply
s <- sqrt(1:5)
but your example may be a very simple case of a more complex
procedure!
Hoping this helps,
Ted.
