loops - Assigning variables within the ifelse function in r -

i pretty new r , trying better grasp of language solving problems 1 of books r (i not sure if can put title here not advertise it). 1 of problems asking conditional assigning values variables, based on criteria. more precise, randomly choosing number between 2 , 12 (throwing 2 dice) , dependently on value get, have assign values variables status , points follows:

1. if score 2,3, or 12 status <- false , points <- na
2. if score 7 or 11 status <- true , points <- na
3. if score 4-6,8-10 status <- na , points <- score

it quite simple problem , know following code works:

score <- sample(2:12,1)     if(score %in% c(2,3,12)){         status <- false         points <- na     } else if(score %in% c(7,11)){         status <- true         points <- na     } else {         status <- na         points <- score     } 

i trying solve problem using ifelse function error when try assign variables. here did (i know right character vector way make work).

ifelse(any(score == c(2,3,12)), "game_status = false, point = na",         ifelse(any(score == c(7,11)), "game_status = true, point = na",         paste("game_status = na, point = ", score))) 

is there way assign values within ifelse function? also, can done switch function? trying figure out if there more 1 way solve simple problem know how proceed more complicated ones.

thank you!

this may not elegant answer demonstrates use of ifelse conditional statements:

status=null status[score %in% c(2,3,12)]<-false status[score %in% c(7,11)]<-true status[score %in% c(4:6,8:10)]<-na  points=ifelse(score %in% c(4:6,8:10),score,na) 

as can see, used ifelse create logical statement points first argument logical test, second argument replaces value of score if true , last replaces value if false.
