SIZE()

There is MAKELIST and MAKEMAT. Is there a MAKEVEC? I cannot find anything like it.

I have difficulties with vectors and 1 dimensional matrices being different types. My Problem is atm. I have a Vector. i define it as M1:=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7]; Fine. It can be stored in M1 which is a Matrix! First surprise for me that it is not a Matrix but a Vector. i.e. a Matrix of one column is something different... :-(

My initial problem was that I tried a piecewise DOT() over the above vector to achieve an FIR filtering with a core.
I can generate core:=MAKELIST(....) But DOT() gives bad argument type. When I try something like: DOT(SUB(data,first,length(core)+first-1),core);

How can I convert a List into a compatible vector or even better: is there a functino like MAKELIST or MAKEMAT for vectors.

I really was under the impression that a vector is always a 1-dimensional Matrix. Now there is kind of confusion on the types. And why they are compatible enough to store a vector in M1.

Is enlightening doable? :-))
