R help - Apr 2009 - How use a matrix method?

Why when I want to find my value from matrix I get: 2,3,4,1,2? I think that I
should get: 1,2,3,4,7,8.

[1] 1

[1] 2


This is a similar situation:
> macierz=matrix(9,8,7,6)
> macierz[[1]]
[1] 9
> macierz[[2]]
[1] 9
> macierz[[3]]
[1] 9

Why not: 9,8,7

That's

matrix(data=1:4, nrow=7, ncol=8)

a 7x8 matrix with the numbers 1 to 4 repeated columnwise.

You probably want something like matrix(c(1:4, 7, 8))
