[R] missing values error in if statement

[Avi Gross]

We are needing more info to reproduce and debug this problem of comparing an object you call "fraction" to the number 1.

It can only be reproduced if the value/type is known and seen to be compatible with a numeric or logical value.

Those work fine for me. Using a vector of length greater than 1 returns a different error than the one specified.

Why not tell us what typeof(fraction) and class(fraction) return or show how it was made?

One GUESS is that you created or are using a data type using some package. If so, it will not comparable to an integer or floating point unless the package made implicit or explicit ways to do the comparison. One obvious way is to use whatever you need to convert the fraction back to numeric before a comparison, or, if it supports it, change the "1" to a fraction and use whatever comparison method you have available that can compare two fractions.
