To convert a data.frame to a data.table in R, you can use the data.table() function from the data.table package. Here's an example:
main.r196 chars11 lines
In this example, we first create a sample data.frame df with two columns (a and b). We then use the data.table() function to convert df to a data.table dt. Finally, we print the resulting data.table with the print() function.
Note that when you transform a data.frame to a data.table, the resulting data.table is not a copy of the original data.frame. Instead, the data.table is created by reference, meaning that modifying the original data.frame will also modify the data.table, and vice versa.
