R Programming error in if condition

Question

I am new to R programming and when I run the below if condition:

if("TRUE") 

print("YES")

I get an error.

I know the logic, it's quite simple, but why am I unable to run this if loop?

Answer 1

There's a small mistake in your syntax. This should work:

if (TRUE){
  print("YES")
}

Answer 2

Hi.

Instead of breaking the line add it in the same line as it is a single statement condition.

if("TRUE") print("Yes")
