Converting data types

Throughout this chapter, you'll be working with San Francisco bike share ride data called bike_share_rides. It contains information on start and end stations of each trip, the trip duration, and some user information.

Before beginning to analyze any dataset, it's important to take a look at the different types of columns you'll be working with, which you can do using glimpse().

In this exercise, you'll take a look at the data types contained in bike_share_rides and see how an incorrect data type can flaw your analysis.

dplyr and assertive are loaded and bike_share_rides is available.
