For example: > > if (age <=10) {group == 1} > else if (age > 10 & age <= 20) {group == 2} > else {group == 3} if you put your statement on one line it works (at least it does not give you syntax error) but the result is hardly what you really expect age<-sample(seq(10,50,10), 20, replace=T) if (age <=10) {group <- 1} else if (age > 10 & age <= 20) {group <- 2} else {group <- 3} if (age <=10) {group == 1} else if (age > 10 & age <= 20) {group == 2} else {group == 3} Maybe you want something like group<-as.numeric(cut(age,c(0,10,20,100))) but it is only guess HTH Petr > > Syntax error > > Or > > if (age <=10) {group == 1} > else (age > 10 & age <= 20) {group == 2} > else {group == 3} > > Syntax error > > I know that is possible to find the solution by ifelse command or even > recode command, but I´d like to use this way, because I can add > another variable as a new condition and I believe to expand the > possibilites. > > Thanks, > Mauricio > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html Petr Pikal [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
