R if statement
The syntax of if statement is:
if (test_expression) {
statement
}
If the test_expression is TRUE, the statement gets executed. But if it’s FALSE, nothing happens.
Here, test_expression can be a logical or numeric vector, but only the first element is taken into consideration.
In the case of numeric vector, zero is taken as FALSE, rest as TRUE.
