[R] a question on the use of 'solve'

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi Laura,

Did you ?try (a truly terrible pun).  Here is a little example:

for (i in 1:10) try(print(solve(i != 5), TRUE))

notice that for i == 5, it fails, and prints the error, but the rest
output as normal.  If you need fancier stuff, look at ?tryCatch

Hope this helps,

Josh
