Hello,
I am doing a simple if else statement in R. But it always comes out error
such as 'unexpected error'
There are two variables. ini and b. when ini=1, a=3; when ini>1 and b>2,
a=5; all other situations, a=6. I don't know where it is wrong.
Here is my code
ini=3
b=4
if (ini==1) {
a=3
}
The statement above is complete, so it will be evaluated.
else if (ini>1 and b>2 ) {
Then R sees the else, which can't start a new statement, and signals an
error. Put the else on the same line as the previous closing brace and
things will be fine.

a=5
}
else {a=6}
Thanks a lot.
