Conditional recoding for purpose of imputing

Hello, I am trying the ifelse command for imputing a variable based on a conditional statement, but the NAs do not transform. The code I am trying is: ifelse (x==1, y=="NO", y=="YES"). However, the number of NAs remains the same after the attempt. I would like to turn all Y (NAs included) into a "YES" or a "NO".
The "==" has no place in the second and third arguments to ifelse . It should probably be: y <- ifelse (x==1, "NO", "YES") (And do note that "==" is not an assignment operator in any context.)
