Note that 'computed as' is not the same as 'printed as'. Computations
are
done with 52 binary digits of precision and printing is, by default, done
with
7 decimal digits of precision. See FAQ 7.31.

What was the warning?
I hazard a guess you've run into precision issues for binary
representation, and the result of your division is not *exactly* 101.

Dear R project team
I used the function of "matrix" as follows:
matrix(c(1:3030), 10.1/0.1)
However, in the function, matrix, 10.1/0.1 was regarded as 100 not as 101.
Therefore, a warning message appeared.
On the other hand, matrix(c(1:3030), 101) or matrix(c(1:3030), 10.1*10) was
OK. Of course, s
