Subscribers,
What is the correct syntax to apply the 'if else' conditional statement
to vector objects?
Example:
vectorx<-c(50,50,20,70)
vectory<-c(50,50,20,20)
vectorz<-function () {
if (vectorx>vectory)
vectorx
else vectorx<-0
}
vectorz()
Warning message:
In if (vectorx > vectory) vectorx else vectorx <- 0 :
the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
The help manual (?'if') explains that only length=0 is acceptable; what
is an appropriate alternative function to use please?
The desired result for vectorz is:
0 0 0 70
