Convert dataframe column to 1 or 0 for “true”/“false” values and assign to dataframe

Question

In the R cli I am able to do the following on a character column in a data frame:

> data.frame$column.name [data.frame$column.name == \"true\"] <- 1
&g         


        

Answer 1

@chappers solution (in the comments) works as.integer(as.logical(data.frame$column.name))
