Why don't you try "switch" Let me assume that you want to calculate
a=3 and b =5 by using one of "MEAN", "SUM","MIN", and "MAX functions.
Then you could write your code: (If you want to calculate "MEAN")
example<-function(fun=c("MEAN", "SUM", "MIN", "MAX")){
+ fun<-match.arg(fun);a=3;b=5
+ switch( fun,
+ MEAN=(a+b)/2,
+ SUM=a+b,
+ MIN=min(a,b),
+ MAX=max(a,b))
+ }
example("MEAN")

Quoting Arun Kumar Saha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
There is "if-else" loop if I have to choose 1 item from a 2-item list.
However if I have a list of 4 items (let say) then how i can choose a single
item without employing 'if-else' loop? I mean in VBA I can use
"select-case", is there any equivalent in R as well?
