R Program to Convert Factors to Characters

Example: Convert Factors to Characters in R


factor1 <- factor(c("Male", "Female", "Transgender"))

# convert factor to character
result <- as.character(factor1)

print(result)

Output


[1] "Male"        "Female"      "Transgender"

In the above example, we have used the as.character() function to convert the factor named factor1 to character.

As we can see, each element of factor1 is displayed separately as a character.
