Thanks John: understanding it as a line return makes sense!
Cheers

Hi Sun,
Can you check the code in the one line command in RStudio?
I tied it and got the expected error. Or to put it another way, it should not
have run for you :)
The semi-colon is funtioning as a line return

Brilliant Jim - that does the trick!!
I guess then that the semi-colon rule works for any program or function
that is being written on one line?
Any reason why when writing this out in the RStudio source editor no
semi-colon is required, but it is when written in the interactive
console?
Thanks again

Hi Sun,
Try including a semicolon.
while(count < 10) { print(count); count<-count+1 }

Hi list
I'm working through some exercises and did a while loop which raised an
issue for me:
I can write out the while loop so:
count <- 0
while(count < 10) {
print(count)
count <- count + 1
}
And this works fine.
Trying to do the same thing all on one line however gives this error:
"Error: unexpected symbol in "while(count < 10) { print(count) count""
My question:
How can one write out a while loop all in one line? Is there a symbol
or
something that I should be including?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Sun
