RE: Create a logical array of 0

[Randy Gober]

The expression logical(zeros(m,n)) has the "effect" of being a type
conversion, but is not really. What you are asking Octave to do is tell you
the non-zero entries in a zeros(m,n) matrix. I guess a better example would
be the non-zero case,
logical(4*eye(4)) == logical(eye(4)). You can see there is more than just
type conversion in the first expression, but still has the "effect" of type
conversion in the second, yet both expressions are equivalent. 

Still thinking about you real question (how to create the matrix directly).

Hi!

How can I create a logical array of zeros without conversions between types?

If tried zeros(m,n,"logical") but didn't work for logical.

I'm currently using logical(zeros(m,n)) but I think this makes a conversion
from double to bool (or it is smart enough to handle it?)

Thanks in advance,
