Your Turn
Convert all of the missing values in the
number_of_studentsvariable to NA usingna_if().Convert all of the NA values you just made to 0 using
replace_na().
Use this code to get started.

Learn More
The best place to learn about replace_na() is on the tidyr website, which has an excellent documentation page about the function.na_if() comes from the dplyr package so check it out there.
I referenced the read_csv() function having an na argument early on in the video. The read_excel() function has an na argument as well. The na arguments in these two functions can help you deal with missing data on import. However, replace_na() and na_if() are good to know because you don’t always have this option!
If you want to go deep on exploring missing data in your datasets in R, there is a package called naniar that will help. Allison Horst also has a really nice tutorial on using it here.
