if statement - ifelse() not working correctly using mutate: R

Question

I have a small doubt in ifelse confition. I've read numerous articles and tried different solutions but I'm not able to solve it. Please help me with it.

I have a column of numbers ranging from 0:59 and it recurs like this for 500 rows. I am trying to create another column which divides 0:29 as 0 and 30:59 as 30.

Data:

> data$Minute
   [1]  0  0  0  1  1  1  2  2  2  2  2  2  3  3  4  4  4  5  5  5  5  5  6  6  6  7  7  7  7  7  8  8  8  8  8  8  9
  [38] 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 12 12 12 12 13 13 13 13 13 14 14 14 14 14 14 15 15 15

 [519] 59 59 59 59 59 59 59  0  0  0  0 

Code:

data<- data %>%  mutate(Period = ifelse(((Minute >=0) && (Minute <= 30)),0, 30) )           

While running this code, I am only getting Period value as 0 for all the data points. Can you please help me with this small issue?

Thanks in Advance!
