Creating a 1x1 Julia array

Question

I would like to create a 1×1 array (say an Array{Float64,2}) and initialize it to some value. Of course this works:

M=zeros(1,1)
M[1,1]=0.1234

Is there a more concise way to create M and initialize it at the same time?

Answer 1

Since [1.1234] will give you a Vector in Julia the simplest way I could come up with is:

julia> fill(1.234,1,1)
1x1 Array{Float64,2}:
 1.234
