Including multiple conditions in for-loop

Question

I am trying to specify two conditions as a part of a for loop. It seems like the second condition in the second for loop is not being considered. My code runs this way:

for (i in 1:nrow(mydata))          {
 for (j in 1:nrow(mydata) && j!=i )    {
       Statements....
 }
 Statements...
 }

Could you please tell me if this is the right Syntax in R? Thanks!

Answer 1

To answer your question, you need:

for (i in 1:nrow(mydata)) {
   for (j in 1:nrow(mydata) ) {
       if(j != i) {
         Statements....
       }
    }
    Statements...
 }

However, there is probably a nicer way achieving what you want to do, but I would need more details.
