Recoding question (New to RStudio)

[evanp002]

I am having issues understanding how to recode items in a dataset. The instructions were to "Recode items 1a through 15a so that each response is either 0 (incorrect answer) or 1 (correct response)." I am sure this is very simple to do, I am just a little lost.

Hi Evan, welcome!

To help us help you, could you please prepare a reproducible example (reprex) illustrating your issue? Please have a look at this guide, to see how to create one:

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…

Hi @evanp002! Welcome!

Since it sounds like you might be working on an assignment for a class, please take a look at our guidelines for asking questions about course work. We have a few rules we need you to follow (including not posting word-for-word assignment text), and that article also has some helpful advice.

There are many ways to recode data in R, so the best answer for you will depend on what you're currently learning. If you've been working with the tidyverse and/or dplyr packages, then you might approach the problem this way. If you've been learning about base R's tools for subsetting and manipulating data, then you might tackle it a different way.
