"return" function

I tried to write a function like this

f1 <- function(){
   if (condition 1) return
   if (condition 2) return
   ...
   if (condition 3) return

   do more work
}

Where I am using return to exit the function prematurely when I detect
conditions that warrant it.  Return doesn't seem to work this way.

How should I do this?

You need to evaluate the function

 if (condition1) return()
 if (condition2) return()
etc

It's the same for all functions -- at the command line, for example, if
you type the name of a function without parentheses you just get the
source code for the function listed.
