Try this in #Rstats :
x <- -42
x^2.3
==> NaN ("not a number")
Now try this:

If no cases match, the .default is used. case_match() is an R equivalent of the SQL "simple" CASE WHEN statement. Connection to case_when() While case_when() uses logical expressions on the left-hand side of the formula, case_match() uses values to match against .x with. The following two statement…
