Are you looking for something like this ?

a <- matrix(rep(0,4), nrow = 2)
a
#>      [,1] [,2]
#> [1,]    0    0
#> [2,]    0    0
b <- a
b[1, 1] <- 1
b
#>      [,1] [,2]
#> [1,]    1    0
#> [2,]    0    0
all(a == 0)
#> [1] TRUE
all(b == 0)
#> [1] FALSE

It is just testing assertions then test if all TRUE or not.
