function C = expand (scalar, S, type)
%GRB.EXPAND expand a scalar into a matrix.
% C = GrB.expand (scalar, S) expands the scalar into a matrix with the
% same size and pattern as S, as C = scalar*spones(S).  C has the same
% type as the scalar.  C = GrB.expand (scalar, S, type) allows the type of
% C to be specified.  The numerical values of S are ignored; only the
% pattern of S is used.
%
% Example:
%   A = sprand (4, 4, 0.5)
%   C1 = pi * spones (A)
%   C2 = GrB.expand (pi, A)
%   C3 = GrB.expand (pi, A, 'single complex')
%
% See also GrB.assign.
