Hi all, It is recommended in ?'if' that we use 'else' right after '}' instead of starting a new line, but I noticed deparse() will separate '}' and 'else' when the 'if...else' clause is used inside {...} (e.g. function body). Here is an example:
## if/else inside {} > cat(deparse(parse(text='function(){if (TRUE) {1} else {2}}')), sep='\n') structure(expression(function() { if (TRUE) { 1 } else { 2 } }), srcfile = <environment>) ## no {} > cat(deparse(parse(text='if (TRUE) {1} else {2}')), sep='\n') structure(expression(if (TRUE) { 1 } else { 2 }), srcfile = <environment>) I wonder if there is a way to let 'else' stay with '}' when deparsing the expression.
