To remove a character in an R data frame column, we can use gsub() function which will replace the character with blank. For example, if we have a data frame called df that contains a character column say x which has a character ID in each value then it can be removed by using the command gsub("ID", "", as.character(df$x)).Example1Consider the below data frame −Live Demo> x1 x2 df1 df1Output        x1  x2 1    Male1  8 2  Female1  4 3    Male1  9 4    Male1  2 5    Male1  7 6  Female1  5 7    Male1  3 ...

Most of the times, we need to use packages in R and some packages are restricted to different versions in R, generally to newer versions. Therefore, we might need to find which version of R we are using. To find the R version, we can directly use the command R.Version().Example Live DemoR.Version()Output$platform [1] "x86_64−w64−mingw32" $arch [1] "x86_64" $os [1] "mingw32" $system [1] "x86_64, mingw32" $status [1] "" $major [1] "4" $minor [1] "0.2" $year [1] "2020" $month [1] "06" $day [1] "22" $`svn rev` [1] "78730" $language [1] "R" $version.string [1] "R version 4.0.2 (2020−06−22)" $nickname [1] "Taking Off Again"We can ...
