Missing value in condition

Matches: missing value where TRUE\/FALSE needed

WHAT THIS ERROR MEANS

An if statement or while loop received NA instead of TRUE or FALSE. This happens when the condition evaluates to a missing value.

HOW TO FIX IT

1. Check if your condition variable contains NA.

2. Use is.na() to handle missing values.

3. Add na.rm = TRUE to functions like any() or all().

CODE EXAMPLES

BAD — THIS CAUSES THE ERROR
x <- NA
if (x > 0) print("positive")
GOOD — CORRECT APPROACH
x <- NA
if (!is.na(x) && x > 0) print("positive")
