Re: [R] Splitting lines in R script
Hi Steven, In general, the command line must be incomplete (in your case, a trailing hyphen) for the interpreter to take the next line as a continuation.

Re: [R] Splitting lines in R script
R does not need a semicolon or other character to terminate a command; if a line can be interpreted as a complete command, it will (first line in your second example). Also note that the first example may not produce what you want (if your second example is any indication) - the result of pbivnorm(aa,dd,tau) is added to the sum of the first two terms, because the two minuses give a plus: 1- -1 [1] 2 Peter On Sun, Aug 2, 2015 at 9:05 PM, Steven Yen sye...@gmail.com wrote: I have a line containing summation of four components. # This works OK: p-pbivnorm(bb,dd,tau)+pbivnorm(aa,cc,tau)- -pbivnorm(aa,dd,tau)-pbivnorm(bb,cc,tau) # This produces unpredicted results without warning: p-pbivnorm(bb,dd,tau)+pbivnorm(aa,cc,tau) -pbivnorm(aa,dd,tau)-pbivnorm(bb,cc,tau) Is there a general rule of thumb for line breaks?
