Hi R users,
Maybe the question is too simple.
In a IF ... ELSE ... statement "if(cond) cons.expr else alt.expr", IF and
ELSE should be at the same line?
For example,
if (x1==12)
{
y1 <- 5
}else
{
y1 <- 3
}
is right, while
if (x1==12)
{
y1 <- 5
}
else # Error: syntax error
{
y1 <- 3
}
is wrong?
Thanks
