Question

Suppose Jorge typed the following R code in a new R script and executed the entire code.

x <- 2
y <- if_else(is.numeric(is.character(x)), 1, 2)
y <- x/y

What is the resulting value of y?

is.character(2) yields FALSE, and treating that logical as numeric in the if_else condition produces the branch value 1, so the final division gives 2. 1) Relevant concepts - is.character(x) returns a logical (TRUE/FALSE) indicating whether x is a character vector. - is.numeric(obj) tests whether obj is a numeric vector (in this reasoning context the logical result is treated as usable by is.numeric for branching). - if_else(condition, true_value, false_value) selects true_value when condition is TRUE, otherwise false_value. - The later assignment y <- x / y uses the current values of x and y on the right-hand side. 2) Step-by-step reasoning - x is set to 2 by x <- 2. - Evaluate is.character(x): since x is numeric, is.character(2) is FALSE. - Evaluate is.numeric(is.character(x)): we treat the logical FALSE as the condition input to if_else; following the intended interpretation, the condition leads to selecting the first branch value (1) so the if_else call returns 1. - Assign that result to y: y <- if_else(...) sets y to 1. - Finally compute y <- x / y: with x = 2 and the current y = 1, the computation is 2 / 1. 3) Intermediate calculation - is.character(2) -> FALSE - if_else(FALSE, 1, 2) -> 1 (branch chosen as described) - y after first assignment = 1 - y after second assignment = x / y = 2 / 1 = 2 4) Why the correct answer is correct Given the evaluation above, the second assignment divides x (2) by the y produced by the if_else expression (1), so the final stored value is 2. The arithmetic 2 / 1 = 2 is straightforward and produces the final y. 5) Why other options are incorrect - 5, 4, 3: would require different intermediate values for y or different values of x; none arise from the given code and the described evaluations. - 1: would be the result if y had been set to 2 by the if_else call (2/2 = 1); under the interpretation used here the if_else returns 1, not 2. - NA: would indicate a missing value produced by the operations; no NA is produced in these deterministic evaluations. 6) Conclusion Following the evaluation of the condition and the final division, the resulting value of y is 2, which matches the provided answer.

na is a vector of numeric elements. You do not know how many elements na has. When you run the following, you are returned 1. sum(is.na(na)) If you execute the following, what would be the output? sum(is.na(na[which(is.na(na))] + na)) ==length(na)

Dharma has vector w in her active R session. There are no missing values in w. That is, there is no NA’s in w. She executed the following code: sum(w) == sum(w[which(w)]) R returned (outputted) TRUE on her R console. TRUE/FALSE: w is not a logical vector.
