For the next cycle - Receive error

Question

I've tried the following simple one for the next loop in R programming:

for(i in 1:100)  { if(i <= 20)  {  next  } print(i) }

Below is the error message:

Error: unexpected symbol in "for(i in 1:100) { if(i <= 20) {next} print"

Please help me understand why I am getting the error.

Take a picture:

for (i in 1:100) { 
  if (i<=20) {
    next
  };
  print(i)
}

It looks like you missed your half of the colon. This is to mark the end of the instruction.

you need to split the line (enter) after {next} and print (i)} on another line. :) Good luck
