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.
