[R] Looping and break

[Jeff Newmiller]

Your example is decidedly not expressed in R, though it looks like you tried. Can you provide the hand-computed result that you are trying to obtain?

Note that the reason you cannot find anything about next or break in R is that they don't exist. There are generally alternative ways to accomplish the kinds of things you might want to accomplish without them, and those alternatives often don't involve explicit loops at all.
