Your Turn

  1. Import 2021-2022 enrollment data into a data frame called enrollment_by_race_ethnicity_2021_2022 and clean it using the code you used for the 2022-2023 data. You’ll need to change bits of your code to make it work.

  2. Add a year variable to the enrollment_by_race_ethnicity_2021_2022 and enrollment_by_race_ethnicity_2022_2023 data frames.

  3. Use bind_rows() to make a enrollment_by_race_ethnicity data frame by combining the enrollment_by_race_ethnicity_2021_2022 and enrollment_by_race_ethnicity_2022_2023 data frames.

Hi David! I've noted that data frames need to have identical variable names in order to use bind_rows().. But do the variables also need to be in the same order? And do the variable types need to be the same -- or is it possible to force a bind that would allow the first data frame called to determine var type?

Hey, Olivia! For bind_rows(), the columns can be in any order you like, as long as the column names match, but the data types must be the same. For this function, you can also have a different number of columns in each data frame - it will fill the missing data with NA values for you.
