if(x>3){
print("greater value")
}else {
print("lesser value")
}

if(condition){
#perform some action
}else {
#perform some other action
}
The preceding code will check whether x is greater than or less than 3, and simply print it. In order to get the value, we type the following in the R command window:
x = 2
