Hello,

I'm using SPSS at work but really would like to switch to R. Right now I'm
trying to learn R in reproducing calculations I did with SPSS but am stuck
with something that is quite simple and comprehensible in SPSS-Syntax:

IF (variable1.fac = 0 AND variable2.num = 0) variable3=1.
IF (variable1.fac = 0 AND variable2.num >= 1) variable3=2.
IF (variable1.fac = 1 AND variable2.num = 0) variable3=3.
IF (variable1.fac = 1 AND variable2.num >= 1) variable3=4.

I want to create four different groups out of different conditions of two
variables:
  * variable1.fac is a factor coded with 0 and 1
  * variable2.num is a numerical variable with only whole numbers

My problem with R is that I can't find a way to use AND in an IF statement
that doesn't produce an error or not intended solutions.

"An Introduction to R" is really unhelpful with this problem and I wouldn't
have written here, if I didn't have searched for the answer.

http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/09/12136.html was helpful in
understanding how the IF statement is written in R but didn't answer my
question how to add an usable AND (&, |)
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-November/178808.html looked
promising but didn't do what I had intended

Thanks in advance,
Richard
