Decision making and Loops in R Language

Decision making structures require the programmer to specify one or more conditions to be evaluated or tested by the program, along with a statement or statements to be executed if the condition is determined to be true, and optionally, other statements to be executed if the condition is determined to be false.

Following is the general form of a typical decision-making structure found in most of the programming languages −

Structure

R provides the following types of decision-making statements. Click the following links to check their detail.

Sr.No. Statement & Description
1 if statement

An if statement consists of a Boolean expression followed by one or more statements.

2 if…else statement

An if statement can be followed by an optional else statement, which executes when the Boolean expression is false.

3 switch statement

A switch statement allows a variable to be tested for equality against a list of values.

 R – Loops

There may be a situation when you need to execute a block of code several number of times. In general, statements are executed sequentially. The first statement in a function is executed first, followed by the second, and so on.

Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more complicated execution paths.

A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times and the following is the general form of a loop statement in most of the programming languages −

R Loops

R programming language provides the following kinds of loop to handle looping requirements. Click the following links to check their detail.

Sr.No. Loop Type & Description
1 repeat loop

Executes a sequence of statements multiple times and abbreviates the code that manages the loop variable.

2 while loop

Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given condition is true. It tests the condition before executing the loop body.

3 for loop

Like a while statement, except that it tests the condition at the end of the loop body.

Loop Control Statements

Loop control statements change execution from its normal sequence. When execution leaves a scope, all automatic objects that were created in that scope are destroyed.

R supports the following control statements. Click the following links to check their detail.

Sr.No. Control Statement & Description
1 break statement

Terminates the loop statement and transfers execution to the statement immediately following the loop.

2 Next statement

The next statement simulates the behavior of R switch.
