That code does not make sense at all:

- What is m[0,] ? Note that R starts counting at 1 ...
- You action is  "M[,-j]", but that doe snot do anything except for 
internally returning that matrix into the empty space.

So, if you tell us what you are really going to do, we might be able to 
help better.
