Changing names of variables with the function mutate() in dplyr

[Oliviermoonen]

Hi,
I have been trying to mutate variables in a dataset to different names. The variables represent seasons, so 1 is Spring and 4 is Winter, with Summer and Autumn in between. However, I don't want the seasons to be called by their numbers but by their actual names. I have to do this using a dplyr function because of this specific assignment I'm supposed to do but can't find anywhere how to do so. Does anybody know how to handle this problem? Thank you,
Olivier

You can use dplyr::case_when()

A general vectorised if-else — case_when

Thank you for responding! I couldn't make it work that way but I'll keep trying. I'll ask my questions in the homework part of this community next time, I wasn't aware but thank you.
Kind regards,
