breaking a for loop r code example
Example 1: r exit loop
# Short answer:
# In R you can completely exit from a loop with "break", or skip to the
# next iteration of a loop with "next"
# Example of next and break:
for (i in 1:5) {
if (i == 2) { # Skip to next iteration if i = 2
next
}
if (i == 4) { # Exit loop entirely if i = 4
break
}
print(i)
}
# Returns:
[1] 1
[1] 3
Example 2: how to break from for loop in r
for (i in 1:10){
ifelse(i >= 5, break)
}
