mastering switch statement in R programming
Boo Lolo
[Text for Animation]The switch statement in R is a control flow structure that allows you to execute different blocks of code based on the value of a given expression. It provides a concise way to handle multiple conditions in a single statement.The basic syntax of the switch statement is:switch(expression, case1 = value1, case2 = value2, ..., else = value)switch(expression, case1 = value1, case2 = value2, ..., else = value)Here:expression is the value or expression to be evaluated.case1, case2, etc. are the possible values that the expression can take.value1, value2, etc. are the corresponding actions or values to be returned if the expression matches the respective case.else is an optional default value to be returned if the expression doesn't match any of the cases.For example, let's say you want to write a function that takes a weekday number (1 for Monday, 2 for Tuesday, and so on) and returns the corresponding weekday name. You can use the switch statement to implement this:
