[R] Got "Unexpected ELSE error"

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

You need to put the else statement on the same line as the closing curly
bracket.

a <- TRUE
if ( a ){
        cat("TRUE","\n")
} else {
        cat("FALSE","\n")
}

Cheers,

Thierry

Do not put your faith in what statistics say until you have carefully
considered what they do not say.  ~William W. Watt
A statistical analysis, properly conducted, is a delicate dissection of
uncertainties, a surgery of suppositions. ~M.J.Moroney
