How to create a vector with zero values in R?

In data analysis, sometimes we need to use zeros for certain calculations, either to nullify the effect of a variable or for some other purpose based on the objective of the analysis. To deal with such type of situations, we need a zero value or a vector of zeros. There are many ways to create a vector with zeros in R. The important thing is the length of the vector.

Examples

> x1 x1
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
> x2 x2
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
> x3 x3
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
> x4 x4
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
> x5 x5
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
> x6 x6
[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
