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
