Subject: [R] how does while work
i am having some problems with a program that i am writing
and i think that
knowing how the while command works will help me to figure
out where i am
going wrong
*when do you get kicked out of a while loop?*
(i.e., in the following example what would the final value
of 'a' be?) i
thought it would be 99 but running it in R i get 101 (and 101
for x too!)
while (x <100) {
for (i in 1:101) {
i -> x
x -> a
}
}
while this is a crude example, it is the basic form of what i
am trying to
do, and i am guessing that while is not what i am looking for...
