Multiple If Statements in R

Question

I've been trying to figure this out all day but to no avail. I have an if statement that is meant to satisfy four possible conditions.

1. A exists and B does not exist
2. B exists and A doesn't exist
3. A & B exist
4. A & B do not exist

A, B, C are dataframes.

Here is my code:

if (!exists("A") & exists("B")) {
  C= B} 
else if (exists("A") & !exists("B")) {
  C= A}
else if (exists("A") & exists("B")) {
  C= rbind(B,A)} 
else {C <- NULL}

I keep getting an error on unexpected "}" and unexpected "else". I've followed several examples but still facing this challenge. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thx.

try this

if (!exists("A") & exists("B")) {
    C= B
} else if (exists("A") & !exists("B")) {
    C= A
} else if (exists("A") & exists("B")) {
    C= rbind(B,A)
} else {C <- NULL}
