Adding zero-valued elements

[MaximilianJHuber]

using SparseArrays
C = spzeros(2,2)
C[1,1] = 0.0

does not add an entry to the sparse matrix. Neither should:

using ExtendableSparse
A = ExtendableSparseMatrix(2, 2)
A[1,1] = 0.0

but it does.

Hi, thanks for the hint. The idea behind this is that it in principle should be possible to have entries which are zero "by chance" . The way I use it I so far check before if I don't want zeros there.

I agree that this behavior may feel unexpected. Indeed it is probably better to be consistent with SparseMatrixCSC.

The case I have in mind may be handled by another API call. I try to find time to modify this.

Ok thanks for the suggestion, I implemented this.
