[R] transforming a matrix of logical to 0 and 1 while keeping the dim of matrix

[David Winsemius]

Two further methods:

 > x+0
      [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    0    1
[2,]    0    1    0
[3,]    1    0    1

 > mode(x)<- "numeric"; x
      [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    0    1
[2,]    0    1    0
[3,]    1    0    1
