Can you describe a scenario where you would need to use a recursive function in R?
- Traversing hierarchical data structures
- Searching through nested directories
- Generating permutations or combinations
- All of the above
There are various scenarios where you might need to use a recursive function in R. For example, when traversing hierarchical data structures like trees or nested lists, searching through nested directories or file structures, generating permutations or combinations, or solving problems that have a self-similar or recursive structure. Recursive functions are particularly useful in these cases to break down the problem into smaller sub-problems and solve them iteratively.
