Using the case-study of data cleaning, this modular video series will demonstrate *iteration* with *`purrr::map()`* and *custom functions* while also showing several Tidyverse tips and tricks. This individual video (# 4) in the series presents the technique of nesting data frames as a step towards iteration using the purrr library and the map() functions. Each #IterateFunctionsR video will become progressively more fluent, using building-blocks to present intermediate data manipulation techniques in R and the Tidyverse.

By the end of the series you'll learn how to use the purrr package, a very convenient package in support of iterating over list-columns and nested data frames. purrr::map() iteration is often more convenient and efficient than a **For-loop**. You'll also learn how to compose custom functions in R.
since R is a functional programming language, composing your own custom functions can increase your fluency as an R coder.
