21 - Unifying columns with Julia and R #shorts [Julia & R programming]

#shorts

For this video, we're going to reload the IKEA dataset in both languages once again.

R's unite() combines multiple columns into a new one named "long_description", using a chosen separator, like a semicolon, based on the "name" and "short_description" columns.

To get the same effect in Julia, you simply need the string() function. Alternatively, you may first ensure "name" and "short_description" columns aren't in the final result using Not(). Then, via minilanguage's pair symbol, set these two columns as input, use ByRow() to apply a function that merges their string values row by row, and finally name this new column "long_description".
