[R] if confusion

[David Huffer]

Because the line if... Is syntactically complete. Move the else statement to the line above it like

tclass <- "Testing 1 2 3"
if ( tclass == "Testing 1 2 3" )
{
    cat ( "Testing" , tclass , "\n" )
} else
{
    cat ( tclass , "\n" )
}

Subject: [R] if confusion

Simple question:

Why doesn't the following work? Or what 'R' rule am I missing?

tclass <-  "Testing 1 2 3"
if(tclass == "Testing 1 2 3")
{
    cat("Testing", tclass, "\n")
}
else
{
    cat(tclass, "\n")
}

I get an error 'else' is unexpected.

Thank you.

Kevin
