To convert the Python code to R code, we need to make the following changes: Replace import pandas as pd with no import statement (R does not use pandas). Replace df.head() with head() or print(df) to display the first few rows of the dataframe. Replace data['column'] = df['column'] with data$column <- df$column. Replace .loc[] with $ for accessing columns. Replace .values with [ ] for indexing. Replace df['column'].value_counts() with table(df$column). Replace df['column'] = pd.

Understanding UIWebView and Its Private API UIWebView is a powerful tool for rendering web content on iOS devices.
