yesNoBool {quickcode}

Convert Yes/No to Binary or Logical

Description

Seamlessly convert a yes or no to either a binary or logical output

Usage

yesNoBool(
  table,
  fldname,
  out = c("change", "append", "vector"),
  type = c("bin", "log")
)

Arguments

table

data frame

fldname

field name in the data frame

out

output form, choices - change, append, vector

type

output type, choices - bin, log

Details

type - "bin" for binary, and "log" for logical

Value

converted Yes/No entries into 1/0 or TRUE/FALSE

Examples

# Declare data for example
usedata <- data.frame(ID = 1:32)
usedata #view the dataset

usedata$yess = rep(c("yes","n","no","YES","No","NO","yES","Y"),4) #create a new column
usedata #view the modified dataset

# Set all yess field as standardize boolean
# Task: convert the "yess" column content to 1/0 or TRUE/FALSE
# Notice that you have add the column name with or without quotes
yesNoBool(usedata,yess, type="bin") #set all as binary 1/0
yesNoBool(usedata,"yess", type="log") #set all as logical TRUE/FALSE


# Task: By default, the 'out' argument is set to "change"
# means that the original data field will be
# replaced with the results as above

# In this example, set the out variable to
# append data frame with a new column name containing the result

yesNoBool(usedata,yess,"append")
#or yesNoBool(usedata,"yess","append")

# In this example, return as vector
yesNoBool(usedata,yess,"vector")
#or yesNoBool(usedata,"yess","vector")

# Task: Return result as logical
yesNoBool(usedata,"yess",type = "log")
