Are you telling us the whole story? Or did you also
get a warning message which should have twigged the
answer for you?
Try ifelse() instead of if().

There must be a very basic thing I am not getting...
I'm working with some entropy functions and the convention is to use
log(0)=0.
So I wrote a function:
llog<-function(x){
if (x ==0) 0 else log(x)
}
which seems to work fine for individual numbers e.g.
llog(0/2)
[1] 0
but if I try whole vectors or tables:
p<-c(4,3,1,0)
q<-c(2,2,2,2)
llog(p/q)
I get this:
[1] 0.6931472 0.4054651 -0.6931472 -Inf
What am I missing?
Thanks!
