21. How to compile and run code in R?
- Compiled Code – R is a high-level, expressive language. While C and C++ often require more lines of code to solve the same problem, they can be orders of magnitude faster than R.
- Run the code – We find it easiest to use Rstudio. We can also paste the code in a normal R console or let R run a source file. However, these approaches are a bit less fail-safe.

27. What is the main difference between an Array and a matrix?
A matrix is always two dimensional as it has only rows and columns. But an array can be of any number of dimensions and each dimension is a matrix. For example, a 3x3x2 array represents 2 matrices each of dimension 3×3.
28. What are Generic Functions in R?
R has three object-oriented (OO) systems: [[S3]], [[S4]] and [[R5]]. … A method is a function associated with a particular type of object. S3 implements a style of object-oriented programming called generic-function OO.
29. What are Features of Recursion?
The use of recursion, often, makes code shorter and looks clean.
- It is a Simple solution for a few cases.
- It expresses in a function that calls itself.
