Re: [R] Unreasonable syntax error
I find this sign in the code multiple times: ¨C; I replaced those with *;
there is also a MS-Word flexible hyphenation sign in there somewhere,
probably standing for a minus sign. Other than that, there are a couple of
output calls within loops that do not do anything anyway, but which seem to
be misplaced in those loops. The below code, removing those unnecessary
calls and MS symbols gives you code that runs through smoothly:

Hi all,

And below is what the console complains Why doesn't it recognise 'r'??
I don't see 'r' at all. It doesn't recognise s.
You have strange (16-bit?) characters in your .r file.
Note in your output:
NdeTirage-1 # NdeTirage d?signe le nombre de tirages
Longueur-40 # L'exp?rience s'?tale sur 40 semaines
# Ecriture de la matrice des param?tres
par-function(N){
+ s- array(0,c(4,8,N));
+ for( k in 1:N){
+ s[1,3,k]- (0.1) * runif(1)+ 0.1;
+ s[1,1,k]- (0.02) * runif(1)+ 0.98 ¨C s[1,3,k];
^^
s[1,5,k]- (0.04) * runif(1) + 0.04;
Error in s[1, 5, k] - (0.04) * runif(1) + 0.04 : object 's' not found
The ¨C (which I guess is a 'dash' rather than a 'minus') is not recognised,
and seems
to 'complete' the function definition (the +'s stop appearing in column 1),
but s is only
defined inside the function.
I have to mention that at least when I typed this first several lines into
the console, the first error didn't appear. I don't try the next errors as
there would be too many lines to type...I'm not sure if this is something
about Word

Why use Word for a text file when Notepad would do the job (better)?
