This question is related to FAQ 7.16, which you should look up.

In general, whenever you just type a variable or function directly at the command line, R prints the result for you. Inside code blocks of any kind, it does not do that, so you need to use the print function yourself.

Hello,

I have a block of code that has two head calls at the end, but only the second 
is shown on screen. If I manually execute the statement which is not showing, 
it works. I thought that if statements are not functions. It is behaving as one.

if(1 < 2)
+ {
+   x<-rnorm(100)
+   y <- rpois(10, 5)
+   head(x)
+   head(y)
+ }
[1] 4 4 5 4 8 3

head(x)
