consensusString and consensusMatrix error for legth-0 input
Currently, consensusString
fails for length-0 inputs:
Biostrings::consensusString(character(0))
#> Error in h(simpleError(msg, call)): error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for function 'consensusString': 'x' has no element and 'width' is NULL
Created on 2023-07-29 by the reprex package (v2.0.1)
I believe it should return character(0)
instead and at most warn.
Maybe, replacing error("'x' has no element and 'width' is NULL");
with return allocMatrix(INTSXP, 0, 0);
is all that's needed?
