Thank you for this useful lesson 😃

[@ZeeSounds]

Great tutorial. Keep it up.

[@frankalaniz8252]

This is a really stupid question but how does R know that char "first" = num 1?!
The output of nums_fct shows that R translated each number into it's appropriate equivalent from variable levels but how does it know how to do this?!
Thanks!

hello , I just have a question , while doing summary for a factor variable , I get (0) results for all of this variable's factor , I don't know why , can you explain that to me please? , THANK YOU !

[@EquitableEquations]

Hi! My advice is to post a reproducible example on R4DS or StackOverflow. Without code, I (or anyone else) would just be guessing.

i have a question: i just want verbal answers from a questionnaire like "often", "seldom" and so on converge into numbers, so I can compute an average for each person. How's this done?

[@MrJwerge]

Good infomation. Can you explain how you can summarize "vore" based on another factor varible like "order"?

[@EquitableEquations]

Hi! The table() command will give you a summary like that.
