[r] How to create a numeric vector of zero length in R

This isn't a very beautiful answer, but it's what I use to create zero-length vectors:

0[-1]     # numeric
""[-1]    # character
TRUE[-1]  # logical
0L[-1]    # integer

A literal is a vector of length 1, and [-1] removes the first element (the only element in this case) from the vector, leaving a vector with zero elements.

As a bonus, if you want a single NA of the respective type:

0[NA]     # numeric
""[NA]    # character
TRUE[NA]  # logical
0L[NA]    # integer
