Converting Character Vector To Factor
Syntax:
as.factor(char-vec)
where char-vec is the character vector
The class indicative of the data type of the vector can be obtained using the class() method. Upon conversion, the data type is returned as a factor.
class(fac-vec)
where char-vec is the character vector
Example:
R
# declaring a character vector str_vec < - c("Geeks", "For", "Geeks", "Programming", "Coding") print("Original String") print(str_vec) # getting the class of vector class(str_vec) str_mod < - as.factor(str_vec) print("Modified String") print(str_mod) # getting the class of vector class(str_mod) |
Output
[1] "Original String" [1] "Geeks" "For" "Geeks" "Programming" "Coding" [1] "character" [1] "Modified String" [1] Geeks For Geeks Programming Coding Levels: Coding For Geeks Programming [1] "factor"
