R programming error

Question

How does the speed reduce in this code snippet?

speed <- 64

while (speed > 30) {
  print(paste("Your speed is",speed))
  if ( speed > 48 ) {
    print("Slow down big time!")
    speed <- speed -11
    print(speed)
  } else {
    print("Slow down!")
    speed <- speed -6

  }
}

Answer 1

Loop 1: the value of speed is 64, thus, reducing speed by 11 you get --> 53

Loop 2: the value of speed is 53, thus, reducing speed by 11 you get --> 42

Loop 3: value of speed is now 42, which is less than 48, so else is executed, bringing the speed down by 6 --> 36

Hope this is helpful!
