Read the reply again. Of course, the number of x and y values needs to
be the same - how else would you plot the points?
The problem is that 0:0.896 does not do what you assumed it does.
Henrique actually provided the solution - did you try it?

Also, in your plot command you are using type='n' which will cause R not
to plot the actual data points. Without knowing the context of your
command I can only guess what you are trying to accomplish. Are you
plotting points into the empty plot later on?

Maybe you are just trying to set the plotting range? In that case better
use the xlim and ylim parameters of the plot function.
