convert Fortran goto statement in to R

General
#1

hi, could you please someone help me, in the following code how I can write the goto in the if statement in Rstudio.
This code in Fortran77.
Thank you.

    integer n(1)
    k=0
do 1 I=1,10000000
        n=0
        n = rpois(1,16)
      if(n(1).eq.0) then
	k=k+1			   
	goto 1
	endif
	m1 = rbinom(2,n(1), 0.25)
	m1 = rbinom(2,n(1),0.5)
  1	continue

Maybe you could change the title of the post so that it is more useful. Something like 'convert Fortran goto statement in to R'.

Okay, I changed the title of my question. Thank you.

No worries. I don't know Fortran, but hopefully someone else does.

Hi @Alhejaili ,
The goto 1 statement breaks the loop when the if(....) condition is met, and effectively sends the loop to the next value of I via line 1 (continue). You achieve the same thing in an R loop with a next statement inside a corresponding if statement.
See help(`if`)
