Mix it up with control flow

Let's return to the LinkedIn profile views data, stored in a vector linkedin. In the first exercise on for loops you already did a simple printout of each element in this vector. A little more in-depth interpretation of this data wouldn't hurt, right? Time to throw in some conditionals! As with the while loop, you can use the if and else statements inside the for loop.

Exercise instructions

Add code to the for loop that loops over the elements of the linkedin vector:

  • If the vector element's value exceeds 10, print out "You're popular!".
  • If the vector element's value does not exceed 10, print out "Be more visible!"

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# The linkedin vector has already been defined for you
linkedin <- c(16, 9, 13, 5, 2, 17, 14)

# Code the for loop with conditionals
for (li in linkedin) {
  if ( ) {
    
  } else {
    
  }
  print(li)
}
