Is there anything like "goto" loop, which exists in most computer programs?
e.g. I am looking for this kind of stuff :
if(i < 6) goto "step-02"
Any idea?
Regards,
It doesn't exist, but it can always be replaced by if() {} else {}
constructs. (You don't usually see goto in the class of "functional
programming languages" to which R belongs. See also
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsger_W._Dijkstra .)
R does have break, next, and return() which cover some common cases
where goto might be used with some reason.
'switch' might well be added to this list.
