hi, you can try this method.

## if x is a vector
x <- runif(1000)
## if sin(1/0) will appear NaN. we make the situation. x[sample(1:length(x),5)] <- 0 z <- suppressWarnings(ifelse(is.na(sin(1/x)),NA,sin(1/x)))
is.numeric(z)

## if x is a matrix
x=matrix(runif(1000),100,10)
x[sample(1:nrow(x),50),sample(1:ncol(x),5)] <- 0
z <- suppressWarnings(ifelse(is.na(sin(1/x)),NA,sin(1/x)))
is.numeric(z)



Please read the question more carefully, the sin() example was used as a method that does not give an error but works as expected (just with the warning), but the question is how not to break the loop, and so my answer was "see ?try".

hi, everybody, please help me with this question:

If I want to do iteration for 1000 times, however, for the 500th iteration, there is NaN appears. Then the iteration will stop. If I don't want the stop and want the all the 1000 iterations be done. What shall I do?

suppose I have x[1:1000] and z[1:1000],I want to do some calculation for all x[1] to x[1000].

z=rep(0,1000)
for (i in 1:1000){
  z[i]=sin(1/x[i])
}

if x[900] is 0, in the above code it will not stop when NaN appears. Suppose when sin(1/x[900]) is NaN appears and the iteration will now fulfill the rest 100 iterations. How can I write a code to let all the 1000 iterations be done?

Thanks!
