Hint: what does ifelse return instead of a vector of length nrow(A)?

Since you're checking conditions of length 1, you can safely use `if
(x[i] == 0) A[,i] else 0` here, or you can transform the `x` vector
into a boolean matrix of the correct shape to guide the substitution:

X <- matrix(as.logical(x), nrow(A), ncol(A), byrow = TRUE)
ifelse(X, 0, A)
