[R] using a logical vector as a mask?

[Rajarshi Guha]

Hi,
  say I have a vector:

v <- c(1,2,3,NA,5,6,NA,7)

And I would like to set the elements that are NA to, say, 0

I can use is.na() to get a logical vector:

ind <- is.na(v)

Is there a way in which I can use this logical vector to set the NA
elements in v to 0?

Thanks,
