Hi All, I was wondering if there is anything that breaks a loop in R. For example, For (k in 1:100) For ( i in 1:10){ If ( condition ){ Break the inner loop } } } In the above case, if the program runs the if statement, then I want the inner loop for (i in 1:10) to stop looping and skip the rest of the program.

something like this should do it: breakFlag <- FALSE For (k in 1:100) For ( i in 1:10){ If ( condition ){ breakFlag <- TRUE break } } if (breakFlag) break } On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 7:58 PM, kayj <kjaja27 at yahoo.com> wrote:> > Hi All, > > I was wondering if there is anything that breaks a loop in R.

Hello, Please could someone explain break and next?? Is there a way to break a loop that is not the innermost loop?? for example: #========================dim A = 1000 x 3 dim B = 2000 x 3 for (a in 1:1000){ for (b in 1:2000){ expr = intersect(A[a,1]:A[a,2],B[b,1]:B[b,2]) if (!is.na(expr[1])){ indx = which(expr[1] >= A[,2]) if (length(indx) > 1){ for(c in 1:length(indx)) X[a,1] = paste(.....) ..... }else { X[a,1] = A[indx, 3] } } ###BREAK - Here does not work NEXT # am not sure if this is doing what I want it to?? } } #============================ Any help and advice would be much appreciated!
