[R] error in a abline loop

[Elaine Kuo]

Hello

Thanks.
It is right a ) is missing for lm.
With the modification, I ran the code but the command seems not
closed, with + instead of >.
Please kindly help.

The code modified
for (i in 1:7) {
    subs <- data$skin_color==levels(data$skin_color)[i]
    line<-lm(body_weight~body_length, data=subset(data, subset=subs))
    abline(line,col=c("yellow","chocolate1","darkorange2",
"red3","saddlebrown","coral4","grey38")[i],lwd=2) )
    }

Elaine
