Dear R helpers,
I have two separate data frames. In one data frame the transaction data is
stored and the other data frame has exchange rates stored say rate_A and rate_B
where rate_A and rate_B are series of rates.
rate_A and rate_B are properly defined and I am reading them through the
appropriate dataframe. (Actually I have a different datasets and to try to keep
things simple, I am defining it as above).
I have BUY or SELL transaction (defined under the column head Type in
transactions dataframe) and depending on the type of transaction, I need to
define the rates.
So if the type is BUY, rate_1 = rate_A and rate_2 = rate_B and if the type is
SELL, rate_1 = rate_B and rate_2 = rate_A.
To begin with I have only one transaction in my data frame (I am not aware if
it is BUY or SELL transaction)
Thus, I tried
if(Type == "Buy")
{rate_1 = rate_A & rate_2 = rate_B} else {rate_1 = rate_B & rate_2 = rate_A}
I get following error
Error in rate_A & rate_2 = rate_B
could not find function "&<-"
How do I define multiple conditional statements?
Kindly guide.
