[R] I think this is a bug

[Petr Pikal]

Hi
not at all

works for me

> a<-1
> b<-2
>  if (a>b) {print("Hallo")} else {print("OK")}
[1] "OK"
>  if (a<b) {print("Hallo")} else {print("OK")}
[1] "Hallo"
>

you probably started your else on new line e.g.

>  if (a<b) {print("Hallo")} {
Error: syntax error in " if (a<b) {print("Hallo")} {"


>  if (a<b)
+ {print("Hallo")} else
+ {print("OK")}
[1] "Hallo"
>
