[R] IF ELSE

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi jost87,

Try using a good text editor with syntax highlighting and
parenthesis/brace matching (personal preference is Emacs + ESS, others
like Rstudio, and there are tons more).  I find at least one
mismatched pair of parentheses/braces in those expressions.

Cheers,

Josh
