The constant indexing function can be used to construct rtable objects of type Array, Matrix, or Vector.

In the construction of a Matrix, the constant[x] indexing function specifies a Matrix whose entries all have the value x.

The specification is the same in the construction of Arrays and Vectors.

If an object is defined by using the constant indexing function, its elements cannot be reassigned.

Under normal circumstances, Maple only stores the value of x. To override this, specify a storage value.

$V≔\mathrm{Vector}\left(3\,\mathrm{shape}=\mathrm{constant}\left[2\right]\right)$

$V≔\left[\begin{array}{c}2\\ 2\\ 2\end{array}\right]$

$M≔\mathrm{Matrix}\left(1..2\,1..2\,\mathrm{shape}=\mathrm{constant}\left[3\right]\right)$

$M≔\left[\begin{array}{cc}3& 3\\ 3& 3\end{array}\right]$
