R handles missing data in datasets by representing missing values with the NA value. The NA value is a special reserved value in R that indicates missing or unavailable data. Functions in R are designed to handle NA values appropriately, such as excluding them from calculations or providing options to handle missing values in specific analyses.

In R, the as.character() function is used to convert numeric data (which includes integers, doubles, etc.) to a string. For example, as.character(123) would return "123".

In R, the boolean values are represented as TRUE and FALSE. These are the reserved keywords in R for representing logical true and false values, respectively.

The summary() function in R can be used to obtain a summary of the data in a data frame. It provides information such as minimum, maximum, median, mean, and quartiles for each column in the data frame.

In R, the nchar() function is used to determine the length of a string. For example, nchar("Hello") would return 5.

In R, the '#' symbol is used to denote a comment. Any text following this symbol on a line is ignored by the R interpreter. This is a useful way to annotate your code.

To add a column indicating if a grade is 'pass' or 'fail' using a nested if statement in R, you can use the following structure: if (grades == 'A') { 'pass' } elseif (grades == 'B') { 'pass' } elseif (grades == 'C') { 'pass' } else { 'fail' }. This nested if statement checks each grade condition sequentially and assigns the corresponding pass or fail outcome.

While R can be used for data cleaning and machine learning, its primary focus and strength lie in statistical analysis. It provides an extensive array of libraries and tools for statistical modeling. However, it's less commonly used for web development, which is usually handled by languages like JavaScript, Python, Ruby, etc.

To avoid deep nesting of if statements when writing a function in R to handle complex conditions, you can employ various approaches. This includes breaking down the conditions into smaller functions or helper variables, utilizing functions like switch() or case_when() to handle multiple conditions concisely, and leveraging logical operators and vectorization for efficient conditional operations. These approaches help enhance code readability, maintainability, and performance.

The Recall() function in R is used to call the function itself recursively from within the function. It is commonly used in recursive functions to simplify the syntax and improve readability when making recursive calls. By using Recall(), you can avoid explicitly writing the function name again, making the recursive calls more concise.
